FIG. 5.
Prediction of the secondary structures present in the processing region of as-48ABC mRNAs and of their 5′ end processed species folding. Secondary structures present between the TAA translation termination codon of as-48A and the fifth codon of as-48B of the as-48ABC mRNAs encoded by pAM401-81 (A) and pAM401-81X (B). Prediction was made with the Mfold program. Folding of the 5′ RNA species generated from pAM401-81 (C) and pAM401-81X (D) transcripts by mRNA processing at the major cleavage sites detected in Fig. 4C and indicated here in panels A and B by arrowheads. The folding was performed with the Fold program.
