abstract：:The CAT gene is widely used as a reporter in eukaryotic systems because of the efficient translation of its mRNA. We report here that a sequence occurring in the CAT mRNA at +15 nucleotides from CAT AUG is essential for translation. This sequence includes a stem-loop structure, which, however, exhibits a calculated st...
