Figure 3

Sequence and structure of the LSU rRNA region that binds to L10 ribosomal protein. Shown are helices H42, H43 and H44 of the LSU rRNA. The primary sequence shown is a consensus of this mitochondrial 26S rRNA region from Marchantia, Physcomitrella, and numerous seed plants, with differences shown in red. Positions that differ between plant mitochondria and bacteria (represented by E. coli) are shaded in gray. Yellow shading indicates compensatory changes in E. coli that maintain base pairing in stem regions. Nucleotide coordinates are shown for Triticum aestivum mitochondrial 26s rRNA [56] and in parentheses for E. coli 23s rRNA [34, 35].
