Remarks:
MYT2 mRNA can only be translated efficiently in vitro in rabbit reticulocyte lysates only when upstream ATGs
(and possibly secondary structures) are removed. This mRNA is said to be low-abundant and undetectable using
Northern blot or RNase-protection assay in total cellular RNA. It seems the MYT2 gene contains an intron. The
IRES activity was studied only in vivo using bicistronic constructs. The underlying sequence probably differs
from the clone used by the authors. RT-PCR analysis of mouse mRNA has shown 2 types of MYT2 mRNA. One
full-length as expected and one shorter by 40 bases in 5'-UTR (missing bases 948-987, but not resembling
splice junction).

Remarks:
Fragment of 5' UTR nt 997 to nt 1152 (determined by primer location) is 156-nt IRES module, which is
functional as IRES when it is tested in bicistronic vector. The sequence of the IRES regions differs from the
sequence shown in Fig. 1 which claims complete 5' UTR was tested [shown underlined].
