The mRNA/+RNA description:
In vitro T3 run-off transcript containing 5' UTR of human c-myc (nt from -407 to -2; c-myc region from
nt 47 to nt 352 was cloned in inverted orientation) mRNA transcribed from major P2 promoter cloned upstream of

Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records): Plasmid containing 5' UTR of human c-myc transcribed from major P2 promoter (nt from -407 to -2; c-myc region
from nt 47 to nt 352 was cloned in inverted orientation) and firefly luciferase coding region (luc version of
the luciferase gene) with the poly(A)tract.

Remarks:
IRESite notes about verification of plasmid sequence:
The complete sequence of IRES element was determined by sequencing using Fluc_seq_reverse
(AGGAACCAGGGCGTATCTC) primer.
For detailed verification of whole plasmid sequence see item IRESite Id: 413.
The plasmid was used as the negative control for experiments in article Enhancement of IRES- Mediated
Translation of the c-myc and BiP mRNAs by the Poly(A) Tail Is Independent of Intact eIF4G and PABP (Thoma et
al., 2004; PMID: 15383282).
