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: hopefully_full-length_mRNA
The mRNA/+RNA description:
In vitro T7 run-off transcript produced from bicistronic plasmid pDC-WT which comprises neomycin
phosphotransferase and truncated version of the beta-galactosidase (linearized at the AflIII site at position
4083 within pDC-WT; see 1414.gb below) as the first and the second cistron respectively and full-length
(except very 5'-most Adenosine) gypsy 5' UTR (nt from -841 to +5 of the original sequence) mRNA inserted in
between reporters.
The mRNA/+RNA sequence represented in the +DNA notation:
Credibility of mRNA sequence: end-to-end_sequence_reverse_engineered_and_should_match_experiment
The name of the promoter used to express this mRNA: T7
Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records): Plasmid containing gypsy 5' UTR (nt from -841 to +5 of the original sequence) inserted between neomycin
phosphotransferase and beta-galactosidase reporter genes.
The in vivo produced transcripts are heterogeneous (due to any of promoter?/splicing?/cleavage?/breakage?): not tested
The in vivo produced heterogeneous transcripts occur due to alternative splicing: not tested
A promoter reported in cDNA corresponding to IRES sequence: not tested
The abbreviated name of the donor gene or virus from which this IRES was excised and inserted into the plasmid: gypsy
The IRES absolute position (the range includes START and STOP codons or their equivalents): 1055-1900
How IRES boundaries were determined: experimentally_determined
5'-end of IRES relative to last base of the STOP codon of the upstream ORF: 197
3'-end of IRES relative to last base of the STOP codon of the upstream ORF: 1042
5'-end of IRES relative to first base of the START codon of the downstream ORF: -841
3'-end of IRES relative to first base of the START codon of the downstream ORF: 4
The sequence of IRES region aligned to its secondary structure (if available):
Remarks:
Gypsy IRES represents the full-length (except very 5'-most Adenosine) of gypsy 5'-UTR (841 nucleotides) plus
first 5 nucleotides from the viral polyprotein.
