The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Putative in vivo CMV promoter-derived transcript produced from monocistronic plasmid
pHIAP2(1073-1222)(CUA1147)/CAT which contains the part of human c-IAP1 5' UTR (nt from -150 to nt -1 of the
original sequence) mRNA, where the authentic initiation CUG (-76 to -74) codon of c-IAP1 upstream ORF (uORF)
was substituted for CUA, ahead of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene.
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.

Remarks:
In the monocistronic CAT reporter plasmids where the 5' UTR of c-IAP1 (with or without the mutation in the
uORF-initiating CUG) is fused with the CAT gene is the translation of CAT from the  5' UTR containing
construct, but not in the absence of the 5' UTR, enhanced in drug-treated (with thapsigargin or tunicamycin)
cells. This observation paralleled the behavior of the endogenous c-IAP1 in drug-treated cells, suggesting
that the induction of c-IAP1 after endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is due to the translation up-regulation
that is mediated by the 5' UTR. Surprisingly, the CUG to CUA mutation that prevents the translation of uORF
had no effect on the induction of CAT after ER stress. Therefore, although the 5' UTR mediates induction of
c-IAP1 in response to ER stress, this induction is independent of the regulatory uORF (Warnakulasuriyarachchi
et al., 2004).
