The translation method used to study IRES function: in vitro
The in vitro translation system: rabbit reticulocytes lysate
The organism used for translation:
The temperature (in degrees of Celsia): 37
The relative translation efficiency in % of this IRES: 47.000
Name of IRES used as the positive control: HCV_type_1b
Name of the plasmid used as the positive control. pRL-HCV-FL
Name of the plasmid used as the negative control. pRL-FL
IRESite Id of the plasmid used as positive control. 131
IRESite Id of the plasmid used as negative control. 119
The relative translation efficiency in % of the positive control: 100.000
The relative translation efficiency in % of the negative control: 29.000
The size (length) of intercistronic region in the positive control: 485
The size (length) of intercistronic region in the negative control: 28
The effect of 5'-cap analogs on translation: not tested
Rapamycin affects translation: not tested
Type of RNA subject to translation: exogenous_RNA_with_GpppG_cap_with_polyA_tail
Remarks:
The results from Fig. 1C shown here do not form the supporting evidence for existence of IRES in XIAP (the
direct mRNA transfection is the key experiment, see subsection Translation Id: 399 and 400 of this record).
