The pAAV_CMV_VP123 contains a CMV promoter upstream the VP123 sequence. The structural proteins VP1, VP2 and VP3 forming the viral capsid are encoded by the cap gene in an overlapping reading frame. They form an icosahedral symmetry arranged in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1:10. The mRNA encoding for the cap proteins is transcribed from p40 and alternative spliced to minor and major products. Sharing a common C terminus and stop codon, the VP proteins begin with a different start codon. The translation of VP2 from the major spliced mRNA is not as efficient as of VP1 and VP3 because it initiates at a Thr codon (ACG). The N terminus of VP2 contains a motiv of about 70 amino acids that is highly homologous to a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) domain.  Furthermore, there are nuclear localization sequences (BR)(+) which are supposed to be necessary for endosomal escape and nuclear entry. The exact role of VP2 remains unknown, although the protein is thought to be nonessential for viral assembly and infectivity. (Quelle)

The pSB1C3_001_CMV_VP123 contains a CMV promoter upstream the VP123 sequence. The AAV capsid consists of 60 capsid protein subunits. The three cap proteins VP1, VP2, and VP3 are encoded in an overlapping reading frame. Arranged in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1:10, they form an icosahedral symmetry. The mRNA encoding for the cap proteins is transcribed from p40 and alternative spliced to minor and major products. Alternative splicing and translation initiation of VP2 at a nonconventional ACG initiation codon promote the expression of VP1, VP2 and VP3. The VP proteins share a common C terminus and stop codon, but begin with a different start codon. The N termini of VP1 and VP2 play important roles in infection. The VP1 N-terminus contains motifs that are highly homologous to the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) domain and nuclear localization signals (BR)(+). VP2 contains basic regions, too.

The pSB1C3_001_CMV_VP123 contains a CMV promoter upstream the VP123 sequence. The AAV capsid consists of 60 capsid protein subunits. The three cap proteins VP1, VP2, and VP3 are encoded in an overlapping reading frame. Arranged in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1:10, they form an icosahedral symmetry. The mRNA encoding for the cap proteins is transcribed from p40 and alternative spliced to minor and major products. Alternative splicing and translation initiation of VP2 at a nonconventional ACG initiation codon promote the expression of VP1, VP2 and VP3. The VP proteins share a common C terminus and stop codon, but begin with a different start codon. The N termini of VP1 and VP2 play important roles in infection. The VP1 N-terminus contains motifs that are highly homologous to the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) domain and nuclear localization signals (BR)(+). VP2 contains basic regions, too.
CMV promoter is derived from human Cytomegalovirus, which belongs to Herpesvirus group. All family members share the ability to remain in latent stage in the human body. CMV is located upstream of immediate-early gene. However, CMV promoter is an example of widely used promoters and is present in mammalian expression vectors. The advantage of CMV is the high-level constitutive expression in mostly all human tissues [Fitzsimons et al., 2002].
