Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records): Promoter-less variant of pbetaGAL/CAT vector (IRESite ID: 237) was prepared by removing the CMV promoter using
NruI and HindIII restriction sites.
The in vivo produced transcripts are heterogeneous (due to any of promoter?/splicing?/cleavage?/breakage?): not tested
The in vivo produced heterogeneous transcripts occur due to alternative splicing: not tested
A promoter reported in cDNA corresponding to IRES sequence: not tested
The DNA sequence of the plasmid in (+) orientation annotated by its secondary structure:
GenBank formatted file with annotated plasmid sequence hyperlinked from vector image map:
The total number of notable open-reading frames (ORFs): 2
Notable Open-Reading Frames (ORFs; protein coding regions) in the mRNA/+RNA sequence:
The description of the protein encoded in this ORF: chloramphenicol acetyl transferase
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): 3610-4269
Remarks:
The plasmid was used as the negative control for experiments in article The Utrophin A 5'-Untranslated Region
Confers Internal Ribosome Entry Site-mediated Translational Control during Regeneration of Skeletal Muscle
Fibers (Miura et al., 2005; PMID:16061482).
