The abbreviated name of this ORF/gene:
CAT-fusion
The description of the protein encoded in this ORF:
Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase with N-terminal 5 aminoacid residues from GBV-B.
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):

Remarks:
14 bases come from GBB polyprotein and the 15th base is g, according to Fig. 7a.

The integrity of in vitro synthesized T7 transcripts was verified by agarose gel electrophoresis. The
integrity of in vivo transcripts synthesized in BT7-H cells was dependent on the Tpsi terminator function and was
not confirmed in this work.
