Figure 1. The Coding Region of APP mRNA Contains a Putative G-Quartet Sequence within a G-Rich Region Containing Several DWGG Repeats.
(A) Alignment of the canonical G-quartet motif with the putative G-quartet sequence in human, mouse, and rat APP mRNAs.
(B) Alignment of the G-rich region of the human, mouse, and rat APP genes. The predicted G-quartet sequence is located at position 825–846 of the mouse gene and is highlighted.
