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: only_IRES_fragment
The mRNA/+RNA description:
FeLV-Notch2 IRES fragment 1-814.
The mRNA/+RNA sequence represented in the +DNA notation:
Warning: available plasmid sequence is exactly same as the mRNA sequence. It seems we never managed to reconstruct the original plasmid sequence used to express the studied mRNA.
Credibility of mRNA sequence: only_fragment_published_or_from_author
The name of the promoter used to express this mRNA: SV40
The in vivo produced transcripts are heterogeneous (due to any of promoter?/splicing?/cleavage?/breakage?): no (not convincing)
The in vivo produced heterogeneous transcripts occur due to alternative splicing: no (not convincing)
A promoter reported in cDNA corresponding to IRES sequence: no (not convincing)
Summary of possible issues when IRES cDNA is experimentally transcribed in vivo:

Integrity (uniformity) of mRNA tested using S1 nuclease mapping: heterogeneous_population_of_molecules_found
Cryptic promoter presence was confirmed by expression from a promoter-less plasmid: not_tested
Cryptic promoter presence was confirmed in an experimental setup involving inducible promoter: not_tested
Integrity (uniformity) of mRNA molecules or possible promoter presence expressed in vivo was tested using another method, please specify in Remarks: not_tested
The abbreviated name of the donor gene or virus from which this IRES was excised and inserted into the plasmid: FeLV-Notch2
The origin of IRES in the plasmid: viral
The donor organism of the IRES segment:
Felis silvestris 9683
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): 0
Remarks:
The integrity of the transcripts was assessed by RT-PCR (Rohn et al., 1996), S1 nuclease protection (Lauring
et al., 2000, Figure 1B), Northern blot (Lauring et al., 2000, Supplemental Figure 1). Please note we do not
have sequence of the vector not even of the ORFs flanking the putative IRES.
