Figure 1. Description of the four maize SINE families.

Figure 1

(A) Schematic representation of the four consensus maize SINEs. The size of consensus SINE sequences is indicated for each family and subfamily. The position of A and B motifs that constitute the internal (polymerase III) promoter is shown. The 3′-end similarity of ZmSINE2 and ZmSINE3 is also shown. (B) A sequence comparison of the 3′-ends of ZmSINE2.1, ZmSINE2.2, ZmSINE2.3, ZmSINE3 and the putative LINE partner, LINE1-1, is shown. No significant sequence identity (>50%) was detected between other SINE families and other maize LINE consensus sequences.
