Table II. Sequence of the SMIT TonEs.

Sequencing of the small DNA fragments S14-c, S14-g, and S31-d (Fig. 2) revealed seven TonE sequences that conform to the consensus shown near the bottom. TonEB2 and TonEB3 overlap in reverse directions sharing 10 bp as follows: TGGAAAATTCCA, where TonEB2 is in bold letters and the complementary strand of TonEB3 is underlined. TonEp (p for proximal) is at the −331/−321 position. Taking active SMIT TonEs into consideration, an updated TonE consensus is derived (shown at the bottom). Y represents C or T; N represents A, G, C, or T.

Name	Location	Sequences	Remarks
TonEA	S14-c	TGGAAAACTAC
TonEB1	S14-g	TGGAATTCTAT	Not active
TonEB2	S14-g	TGGAAAATTCC	Overlap with TonEB3
TonEB3	S14-g	TGGAATTTTCC	Probably not active
TonEC1	S31-d	TGGAAAATTAC	Same as “hTonE”
TonEC2	S31-d	TGGAAAGTTAC
TonEC3	S31-d	TGGAACTCCCT	Not active
TonEp	−331/−321	TGGAAAGTTCC
