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. :-)

Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records):

The ORF absolute position (the base range includes START and STOP codons or their equivalents):

Remarks:
The +1 transcription site is not exactly known to IRESite curator so the 5'-UTR might be slightly wrong. It
seems transcription should terminate after the poly(A) signal from SV40 early region after removal of the SV40
small T antigen intron.

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.
