IRESite record type: plasmid_with_promoter_and_putative_IRES_without_translational_characterization
The shape of the nucleic acid molecule translated: linear
The quality of the mRNA/+RNA sequence: 3UTR_incomplete
The mRNA/+RNA description:
Incomplete putative in vivo T7 transcript from vTF7-3 vaccinia virus infected cells containing CAT and FLuc
genes separated by FMDV IRES available only to the STOP codon of FLuc CDS.
The mRNA/+RNA sequence represented in the +DNA notation:
Credibility of mRNA sequence: end-to-end_sequence_reverse_engineered_and_should_match_experiment
The name of the promoter used to express this mRNA: T7
Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records): Incomplete pBIC plasmid containing CAT and FLuc genes separated by FMDV IRES under the control of T7 and
thymidine kinase promoters
The in vivo produced transcripts are heterogeneous (due to any of promoter?/splicing?/cleavage?/breakage?): not tested
The in vivo produced heterogeneous transcripts occur due to alternative splicing: not tested
A promoter reported in cDNA corresponding to IRES sequence: not tested
The abbreviated name of the donor gene or virus from which this IRES was excised and inserted into the plasmid: FMDV
The description of the protein encoded in this ORF: firefly luciferase
The translational frameshift (ribosome slippage) involved: 0
The ribosome read-through involved: no
The alternative forms of this protein occur by the alternative initiation of translation: not tested
The ORF absolute position (the base range includes START and STOP codons or their equivalents): 1390-3042
Remarks:
The in vivo T7 transcripts in vTF7-3 infected cells should probably be terminated by T7 transcription
terminator Tphi signal which sequence cannot be clearly aligned to the sequence of pBIC downstream FLuc
(luc+).
The sequence of the plasmid is not complete. The IRES sequence has been determined by E. Martinez-Salas while
the regions around HSV-TK promoter and intercistronic region were sequenced by IRESite (bp 2227-2802 and
3238-3961). Plasmid DNA was obtained from BCCM database.
