Figure 1. The vsp genes carrying putative target sites for both miR6 and miR10.

Figure 1

(A) Fortyfour vsp genes were predicted to have the miR6 binding site, whereas 159 vsp genes have putative target site for miR10. There are 33 vsp transcripts carrying the dual target sites for both miRNAs. (B) The sequence alignment of the 3′-ends of 33 vsp genes bearing the dual target sites for miR6 and miR10. The target site for miR10 is within the open reading frame near the stop codon and the target site for miR6 is largely in the 3′-UTR upstream from the poly-adenylation site. There is a ~16 nt linker between the two target sites. Potential binding of miR6 and miR10 to the target sites is demonstrated on the top. Sequences in red are the “seed sequences” of miR6 and miR10. The arrow shows vsp1267 chosen for further studies.
