Schematic of reporter adenoviruses. The 5′-UTR was fused to the coding sequence for βGal to generate Con/βGal, c-jun/βGal and ODC/βGal, respectively. Expression of βGal mRNA was controlled by the minimal NCX promoter. Each adenovirus expressed GFP under control of the CMV promoter. PA, polyadenylation sequence. The predicted amount of secondary structure was determined by mfold (17).
