(A) Alignment of RNase P RNAs. The isolated RNase P RNA of M. gryphiswaldense was aligned with the homologous sequence in the M. magneticum genome (genome location, 4237281 to 4237836) (24) and the RNase P RNA of Rhodospirillum rubrum (9) by ClustalW2 (20). (B) Predicted secondary structure of the isolated RNase P RNA. The secondary structure was predicted by comparison with that of the RNase P RNA of R. rubrum; the structure prediction program based on energy minimization, Mfold (22, 42), was used.
