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. :-)

Renilla luciferase

Remarks:
Although this construct has mutated authentic initiator AUG codon of FLuc there are many ORFs remaining
throughout the sequence of firefly luciferase while it is not clear whether any of the protein products are
functional. Below are the positions of ORFs C-co-terminal with the full-length protein form within the

Remarks:
Values from Figure 5B. Expression of FLuc from this plasmid could be due to ribosomal re-initiation as well as
initiation at a downstream AUG codon. However, the firefly luciferase proteins produced from shorter ORFs seem
to be non-functional or not produced.
