Structural diagrams of tRNA sequences found on minicircles of peridinin-containing dinoflagellates. Sequence variation between species or different copies within a species is indicated. Structures are as suggested by tRNAscan-SE v.1.2. a) Structure of the tRNAfMet encoded on empty circle 4 (ecao4: AF401630) in the dinoflagellate Amphidinium operculatum. The purine:pyrimidine base pair in the dihydrouridine stem characteristic of fMet-tRNAs is highlighted [31]. b) Structure of the tRNAPro encoded on plastid minicircles in the dinoflagellates H. triquetra and H. pygmaea (H. pygmaea 1: AF206707, H. pygmaea 2: AY033400). c) Structure of the tRNATrp encoded on plastid minicircles in the dinoflagellates H. triquetra and H. pygmaea.
