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: hopefully_full-length_mRNA
The mRNA/+RNA description:
Bicistronic mRNA transcribed in vitro using T7 polymerase while transcription was supposedly terminated
immediately after the Tphi termination signal sequence. The CAT-fusion ORF sequence contains at its 5'-end
additional 32nt (including ATG) from HCV polyprotein (whereas the base 5 is deleted to introduce frameshift
mutation) followed by additional 4 bases, followed by KpnI site, followed by hairpin structure, followed then
by the CAT sequence itself (including the so called ACAT sequence (CGAGAAAAAAATCAC)).
The mRNA/+RNA sequence represented in the +DNA notation:
Credibility of mRNA sequence: end-to-end_sequence_reverse_engineered_and_should_match_experiment
The description of the protein encoded in this ORF: Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase fused with N-terminal sequence of HCV polyprotein and hairpin-derived
sequence
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): 1332-2054
