Fig. 6

Spliceosomal snRNAs from S. vortens and S. salmonicida. a-c Predicted secondary structures (MFOLD) for Spironucleus snRNA sequences are shown with conserved sequence and structural elements indicated. Sm = Sm protein binding site. b, c U2 snRNAs in Spironucleus. BP = branch point interacting sequence. Helix I and III are regions of U2 snRNA predicted to form intermolecular base pairs with U6 snRNA. Accession numbers of genomic contigs containing snRNA sequences are: a S. salmonicida U5 (GenBank AUWU01000115:5304–5391), b S. vortens U2 (ti|2,141,663,608:84–246) and (c) S. salmonicida U2 (AUWU01000434:68649–68,502)
