Remarks:
The data are from Fig. 2B. Although Jang et al. (2004) did not state it explicitly the in vitro
transcripts used in the direct RNA transfection were most probably uncapped (this artificially increases the
yields from the second cistron and thus makes the IRES appear stronger and also increases the risk of degraded
RNA). In comparison with CVB3 IRES the Kv1.4 1.2kb fragment seriously underperforms. The transcripts should
have also been capped in yet another experiment. In the legend they mentioned measuring firefly
luciferase/beta-galactosidase measurements in these cells but that does not make sense as beta-galactosidase
was only measured in experiment shown in Fig. 2A.
