The description of the protein encoded in this ORF:
Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase with N-terminal 13 aminoacid residues from GBV-B.
The translational frameshift (ribosome slippage) involved:

Remarks:
Fig. 7a in Rijnbrand et al., 2001 probably describes the +38 construct from Rijnbrand et al, 2000 in Fig. 6
where probably +38 should have been written as +39.

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.
