Type of RNA subject to translation:

Remarks:
Whereas the cap-dependent translation of the 5' cistron (RLuc) in the bicistronic reporter mRNAs is strongly
inhibited by adding 7mGpppG analog, the BiP IRES-driven translation of the 3' cistron (FFLuc) is not
significantly affected. By contrast, addition of ApppG, cap analog that does not bind the translation
initiation factor eIF4E, does not significantly impair translation from either cistron.

The translation of BiP.IRES-pA RNA is about 5-fold higher efficient than the translation of the
non-polyadenylated counterpart BiP.IRES RNA (IRESite Id: 411).

Translational data are derived from Table 1.
