The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Putative in vivo CMV promoter-derived transcript produced from monocistronic plasmid pHIAP2(427-1222)/CAT
which contains the part of human c-IAP1 5' UTR (nt from -726 to nt -1 of the original sequence) mRNA ahead of
chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene.
The sequence ends at its 3'-end right after the poly(A) signal from BGH mRNA and thus the 3'-UTR might be
slightly wrong.

Remarks:
The c-IAP1 5' UTR contains an upstream ORF (uORF) that prevents translation of the c-IAP1 ORF under normal
conditions (Warnakulasuriyarachchi et al., 2003) (this case of translation experiment).
Subsequent investigations revealed an IRES element at position -149 to position -1 in the c-IAP1 5' UTR that
mediates c-IAP1 translation following endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (treatment with etoposide or with
sodium arsenate (Van Eden et al., 2004) or treatment with thapsigargin (an inhibitor of ER calcium pump) or
tunicamycin (an inhibitor of protein glycosylation) (Warnakulasuriyarachchi et al., 2004)). Thus, expression
of c-IAP1 is regulated by a cap-independent translation initiation mechanism following cell stress. ER stress
causes cleavage of the eIF-4G family member p97/DAP5/NAT1 from its p97 form to a p86 form, and the p86 form
induces the activity of the c-IAP1 IRES resulting in an increase in c-IAP1 protein levels. However, direct
binding of the p86 form of p97/DAP5/NAT1 to c-IAP1 IRES RNA has not yet been demonstrated, and therefore p86
may exert its effect on c-IAP1 IRES activity either directly or via a downstream ITAF that interacts with the
c-IAP1 IRES.
