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: our_best_guess
The mRNA/+RNA description:
Putative spliced in vitro SV40 promoter-derived transcript of phpRBF plasmid.
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_sequence_and_should_match_experiment_except_3UTR
The relative translation efficiency in % of this IRES: 100.000
Name of the plasmid used as the negative control. pRF
IRESite Id of the plasmid used as negative control. 184
The relative translation efficiency in % of the negative control: 0.210
The size (length) of intercistronic region in the negative control: 67
The effect of 5'-cap analogs on translation: not tested
Rapamycin affects translation: not tested
Type of RNA subject to translation: endogenous_nuclear_RNA_Pol_II_transcript
Remarks:
Fig. 3B shows that insertion of a stable hairpin in front of the first cistron of phpRBF transcripts decreases
RLuc activity down to 8.5% while FLuc activity drops only to 91%. Cells were co-transfected with pcDNA3.1 to
monitor transfection efficiency.
