Abstract

A construct which includes a cap independent 5' noncoding region of viral or cellular origin and a nucleotide sequence of interest, which is located downstream of the noncoding region. A method of producing a protein or a polypeptide of interest by introducing the construct, including a nucleotide sequence encoding the protein or the polypeptide of interest, into mammalian cells is also described. In one embodiment, the construct comprises all or a portion of the poliovirus cap independent 5' noncoding region and a nucleotide sequence encoding a protein or a polypeptide of interest.
