To evaluate the properties of insect virus internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESs) for protein expression in Drosophila, we have introduced Cricket Paralysis virus (CrPV) and Drosophila C virus (DCV) IRESs into UAS/SV40-polyA vector. We found that introduction of IRESs induce premature polyadenylation, resulting in both truncation of the mRNA, and an increase in mRNA levels of approximately 40-fold. The increase in mRNA levels was accompanied by increased resistance to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD)-mediated degradation. Our results suggest that premature polyadenylation increases mRNA stability in the SV40 polyadenylation site-containing constructs, suggesting a novel method for robust overexpression of transgenes in Drosophila.
