The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Putative mRNA derived from DNA sequence published by Goyer et al. (1993) containing TIF4631 gene (eIF4G, 150
kDa). The DNA sequence was trimmed on its left to begin at one of the two sites determined by 5'-RACE and on
the right side to end at the putative poly(A)-site to reflect closely the presumed full-length mRNA. Later it
was found that the region -112 to -36 contains promoter (Verge et al., 2004).

The description of the protein encoded in this ORF:
eIF4G protein

The ORF absolute position (the base range includes START and STOP codons or their equivalents):
  507-3365
Remarks:
There are no EST data supporting TIF4631 at all so it is not possible to predict which regions flanking the
CDS are transcribed (except the notes in the description of this mRNA). Zhou et al. (2001) mentioned that they
studied 508bp long 5'-UTR of p150 so this sequence should be correct.

A promoter region -112 to -36 in respect to initiator AUG codon was found in S. cerevisiae CWO4 strain while
no IRES activity was found in yeast extracts. A promoter-less vector was used to show functionally TIF4631
expression in a modified strain S. cerevisiae CBY19. Finally RT-PCR  and 5'-RACE were used to map
transcription start site. The 5'-UTR of TIF4631 mRNA are usually 36bp long. However, 75bp and even longer were
detected by 5'-RACE. [Verge et al., 2004]
