A neomycin resistance gene (NeoR) without an upstream Kozak sequence was cloned downstream of an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) transgene in different configurations similar to that used with PREs. Quantifiable neoR translation products were present in all tested configurations, as was biologically active neoR protein after plasmid transfection into both HEK293 and CHO cell lines (Supplementary Table S1 ). The assay was in the same format as in (a), except for the fact that Pol III inhibitor-treated cells were transfected with EGFP plasmids containing the CMV-HTLV-I R promoter with or without VA1; (c) Inhibition of PKR, not of adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR) or RNA interference (RNAI), was required for VA1 expression enhancement effect. ./cache/cord-282618-tjvjlyn9.txt ./txt/cord-282618-tjvjlyn9.txt
