The name of the promoter used to express this mRNA:

Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records):
XLCSFV1-442.NS171UC is a derivative of pXL10S. CSFV IRES corresponding to 1-442 bp of viral genomic RNA and carrying mutation at position 171-172 has been inserted between the two cistrons. The pXLJ0S contains T7 and SP6 promoter sites and is typically used in in vitro transcription/translation assays. Bicistronic RNA, which contains B2 and NS cistrons (GI:214094, GI:21693177), is transcribed by T7 polymerase after vector linearization by EcoRI.

Remarks:
IRESite notes about verification of plasmid sequence:
The sequence of pXLCSFV1-442.NS171UC (pXLJ0S respectively) was derived from the pXLJCon sequence which has
been experimentally determined by IRESite curators (please see the IRESite entry 329). The sequence of pXLJ0S
differs from pXLJCon in a creation of SnaBI restriction site at position 4202 of plasmid sequence.  A mutation
in vector backbone at position 2808 is indicated in pXLCSFV1-442.NS171UC.gb file provided by IRESite. This
mutation has been detected by sequencing of pXLJCon, thus it is not clear if it is present in pXLJ0S series as
well.
