The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Putative in vivo CMV promoter-derived transcript produced from bicistronic plasmid
hp-pbetaGAL/HIAP2(1073-1222)/CAT which comprises beta galactosidase and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase as
the first and the second cistron respectively and the part of human c-IAP1 5' UTR (nt from -150 to nt -1 of
the original sequence) mRNA mRNA cloned between them, with a hairpin in front of the first cistron.
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.

Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records):
Plasmid containing part of human c-IAP1 5' UTR (nt from -150 to nt -1 of the original sequence) inserted between beta galactosidase and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter genes. A synthetic DNA fragment was inserted into the bicistronic constructs to introduce a stable stem loop structure 72 nt downstream from CMV transcription start site.

Remarks:
Translational efficiency was determined in thapsigargin (resuspended in DMSO)-treated cells.
DMSO-alone treated cells have about 10 times higher CAT production from hp-pbetaGAL/HIAP2/CAT plasmid compared
with empty hp-pbetaGAL/CAT vector.
Translational data are derived from Fig. 2C.

When rabbit reticulocyte lysates were primed with the hairpin-containing c-IAP1 IRES reporter construct
(hp-pbetaGAL/HIAP2(1073-1222)/CAT) and either the FLAGp97- or FLAG-p86-expressing plasmids, the addition of
p86 fragment resulted in the activation of c-IAP1 IRES (approximately 900 times higher production of CAT
protein, compared with the bicistronic construct that lacks the 5' UTR insert (hp-pbetaGAL/CAT)). See Figure
4D.
