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 vivo spliced monocistronic CMV IE promoter driven transcript containing firefly luciferase with LamB1 IRES
in its 5'-UTR and terminated after the SV40 poly(A) region.
The mRNA/+RNA sequence represented in the +DNA notation:
Warning: mRNA sequence when devoid of trailing 'A's is still not a substring of the plasmid sequence. Is it because an intron is spliced out? Stay calm then. :-)
Credibility of mRNA sequence: end-to-end_sequence_reverse_engineered_and_should_match_experiment

IRESite Id of the plasmid used as negative control. 589
The relative translation efficiency in % of the positive control: 100.000
The relative translation efficiency in % of the negative control: 120.000
The effect of 5'-cap analogs on translation: not tested
Rapamycin affects translation: not tested
Type of RNA subject to translation: endogenous_nuclear_RNA_Pol_II_transcript
Remarks:
Data from Figure 3A. The values were normalized to beta-galactosidase (co-transfection control).
Additional notes from M Petz:
Concerning Fig. 3A, I have checked the data again. The experiment was repeated several times and the ß-Gal
activities of the cotransfected plamid were always quite equal. The normalisation to the ß-gal values did
not affect the ratio of the firefly activities in any significant way.
