Remarks:

the sequence available in IRESdb which acquired the sequence directly from S. Pyronnet. However, the 5'-UTR
sequence matching in GenBank (and used by IRESite since position 121) is longer by 120 bp on the left (only

A BLAST-based search for ESTs using the GI:205803 rat sequence results in no EST sequence covering completely
the 5'-UTR region. Instead, introns are seen in various positions. It seems the transcription start site is
at the best at position 120 if not downstream. Therefore, the RefSeq record is probably an over-prediction.


The best EST match in terms of sequence identity is:

There are several other GenBank records covering ODC1 in human but lets say two should be considered more
seriously. The GI:19263695 (2039 b, 29-JUN-2004, 5'-UTR 1-301, 3'-UTR 1688-2039) and GI:33869436 (2043 b,
24-JUN-2004, 5'-UTR 1-484, 3'-UTR 1676-2043). Pyronnet et al., 2000 refer to ODC1 from Rattus norvegicus
having 303b long 5'-UTR. Multiple sequence alignment shows human GI:35135 (2035 b, 18-MAR-1996, 5'-UTR
1-302, 3'-UTR 1689-2035) and GI:19263695 are very similar except about 5 mismatches while one removes an
upstream ATG codon.


Pyronnet et al., Gastroentrology 108(4):xx-xx reported a 53bp shorter variant of ODC1 transcript amplified
by RT-PCR compared to full-legth variant of rat caused by alternative splicing with splice sites moved inwards
of exon1 while both splice donor and acceptor sites appeared in a direct repeat heptanucleotide GGCGGCU and
that the motif was reconstituted in the spliced product. The shorter variant was found to be 3x more
translated than the full-length transcript in which 5'-end 130bp were reported to contain strong secondary
structure.

The ODC1 IRES sequence present in BCCM plasmid repository (not sequence, only guessed based on some GenBank
record) is different. See http://bccm.belspo.be/db/lmbp_plasmid_details.php?NM=pcDNA3-di-RF-ODC for more
details.

Remarks:
Bicistronic constructs studied by Pyronnet et al., 2000 were tested by in vitro translation in rabbit
reticulocytes (optionally treated with rhinoviral 2A protease) and in transiently transfected cells. Integrity
of bicistronic transcripts used in rabbit reticulocyte lysates was tested by Northern blot. IRES activity is
impaired when UUUC segment is mutated to AAAC (authors mutated the one about 20b upstream from translation
start). But, there are more such short stretches in the 5'-UTR of ODC1.
