Figure 6

Multiple sequence alignment of the 5′ region of C. burnetii's IVS. Corresponding sequences of selected C. burnetii strains (shown on the left; see Table S2) were aligned using ClustalX. Bases in the gray box represent a potential SD region. Arrows indicate direct heptameric repeats, while a dashed line shows deletion of one of the repeats. ATG (in bold) represents the start codon of the S23p ORF, as predicted by Afseth et al. (1995). An asterisk indicates perfect nucleotide sequence identity in the alignment. The arrowhead indicates the RNase III 5′ processing site.
