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:
Putative in vivo CMV promoter-derived transcript produced from bicistronic plasmid pBiCELG1 which comprises
beta galactosidase and chloramphenicol acetyl transferase as the first and the second cistron, respectively
and the part (from nt -803 to nt -461 of the original sequence)of 5' UTR from human ELG1 mRNA.
The sequence ends at its 3'-end right after the poly(A) signal from BGH mRNA and thus the 3'-UTR might be
slightly wrong.
The mRNA/+RNA sequence represented in the +DNA notation:
Credibility of mRNA sequence: reverse_engineered_sequence_and_should_match_experiment_maybe_except_3UTR
The name of the promoter used to express this mRNA: CMV
Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records): Part (from nt -803 to nt -461 of the original sequence)of 5' UTR from human ELG1 mRNA has been cloned between
the beta galactosidase and chloramphenicol acetyl transferase reporter genes.
The in vivo produced transcripts are heterogeneous (due to any of promoter?/splicing?/cleavage?/breakage?): no
The in vivo produced heterogeneous transcripts occur due to alternative splicing: no
A promoter reported in cDNA corresponding to IRES sequence: no
