FIG. 2.

Telomere of S. griseus. (A) Comparisons of the S. griseus telomere sequence with the typical telomere sequences of seven other Streptomyces species. Conserved nucleotides among eight telomeres of the seven Streptomyces species are highlighted in light blue. Palindromes are indicated by converging arrows. Nucleotides in the possible loop of the palindromes are colored red. L and R, left and right TIRs, respectively. (B) Secondary structure of the 3′-terminal 164 nucleotides of the S. griseus chromosome predicted by the Mfold program.
