IRESite record type: plasmid_with_promoter_and_putative_IRES_translationally_characterized
The shape of the nucleic acid molecule translated: linear
The quality of the mRNA/+RNA sequence: 3UTR_possibly_incomplete
The mRNA/+RNA description:
Putative bicistronic mRNA containing renilla and firefly luciferase genes with putative c-IAP1 IRES in the
intercistronic region without the chimeric intron. The sequence ends at its 3'-end right after the poly(A)
signal from bovine growth hormone (BGH) mRNA and thus the 3'-UTR might be slightly wrong (it is unknown
what region of the BGH signal could was transcribed and where the poly(A) tail was added).
The mRNA/+RNA sequence represented in the +DNA notation:
Warning: mRNA sequence when devoid of trailing 'A's is still not a substring of the plasmid sequence. Is it because an intron is spliced out? Stay calm then. :-)
Credibility of mRNA sequence: reverse_engineered_fragment_and_the_rest_is_a_guess
The name of the promoter used to express this mRNA: CMV
The in vivo produced transcripts are heterogeneous (due to any of promoter?/splicing?/cleavage?/breakage?): yes
The in vivo produced heterogeneous transcripts occur due to alternative splicing: yes
A promoter reported in cDNA corresponding to IRES sequence: no
