The mRNA/+RNA description:
Homo sapiens cold shock domain containing E1, RNA-binding (CSDE1), transcript variant 1, mRNA.
In transcript variant 2 lacks an in-frame exon, compared to variant 1, resulting in a shorter protein (isoform
2) that is missing an internal segment relative to isoform 1.

Remarks:
Presence of a cryptic promoter in human HEK293 cells was ruled out using a cryptic promoter where the
activity observed was 1/15 of the positive control with SV40 promoter (pGL3-basic) and the delta335-355
variant had 1/24 activity of the SV40 based control.
Ultraviolet cross-linking analysis and RNA affinity chromatography revealed the binding of polypyrimidine
tract binding protein (PTB) to the UNR IRES, requiring a pyrimidine-rich region (nucleotides 354-374). Whereas
overexpression of PTB in several cell lines inhibited UNR IRES activity and UNR protein expression, depletion
of endogenous PTB using RNAi increased UNR IRES activity. Moreover, a mutant version of the UNR IRES lacking
the PTB binding site was more efficient at directing IRES-mediated translation.
