The mRNA/+RNA description: 
In vitro T3 run-off transcript produced from bicistronic plasmid pSL-RML-p(A) which comprises renilla and
firefly luciferases as the first and the second cistron, respectively and the 5' UTR of human c-myc (nt from
-407 to -2) mRNA transcribed from major P2 promoter. A stable stem-loop structure was inserted just behind the
T3 promoter close to the 5' end of the first cistron of a bicistronic mRNA. These mRNAs are bearing a poly(A)
tail.

Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records):
Plasmid containing 5' UTR of human c-myc transcribed from major P2 promoter (nt from -407 to -2) inserted between renilla and firefly luciferase reporter genes, with the poly(A)tract. A synthetic DNA fragment (5' CCCGGAGCGCCCAGATCTGGGCGCTCCGGGGTAC 3') was inserted into the bicistronic c-myc constructs to introduce a stable stemloop structure (deltaG = - 243 kJ/mol) 19 nts downstream from transcription start site.

Remarks:
The stable stem-loop structure close to the 5' end of the first cistron of a bicistronic mRNA abolishes the
translation of the 5' cistron (RLuc) but has no inhibitory effect on the efficiency of the IRES-mediated
translation of the second cistron (FFLuc).

The IRES-driven translation (of FFLuc) of the non-polyadenylated counterpart of SL-RLuc-c-myc-FFluc-pA RNA (it
means SL-RLuc-c-myc-FFluc RNA; IRESite ID: 414) is non-detectable.
