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:
Bicistronic mRNA transcribed by T7 polymerase in vitro or in vivo in BT7-H cells transiently expressing T7 Pol
coding for RLuc and CAT-fusion reporter genes separated by GBV-B IRES segment with 39 nts from GBV-B (incl.
ATG).
The mRNA/+RNA sequence represented in the +DNA notation:
Credibility of mRNA sequence: end-to-end_sequence_reverse_engineered_and_should_match_experiment
The description of the protein encoded in this ORF: Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase with N-terminal 13 aminoacid residues from GBV-B.
The translational frameshift (ribosome slippage) involved: 0
The ribosome read-through involved: no
The alternative forms of this protein occur by the alternative initiation of translation: not tested
The ORF absolute position (the base range includes START and STOP codons or their equivalents): 1468-2175
Remarks:
Fig. 7a in Rijnbrand et al., 2001 probably describes the +38 construct from Rijnbrand et al, 2000 in Fig. 6
where probably +38 should have been written as +39.
The integrity of in vitro synthesized T7 transcripts was verified by agarose gel electrophoresis. The
integrity of in vivo transcripts synthesized in BT7-H cells was dependent on the Tpsi terminator function and
was not confirmed in this work.
