Analysis of RISC-Mediated Cleavage of the CLC-b-like and RPS3a-like mRNA by RLM RACE. (A) RPS3a-like mRNA/vd-sRNA duplexes predicted to be formed by the sRNA derived from the PSTVd variants. The arrows indicate the 5′ termini of RPS3a-like mRNA fragments isolated from the PSTVd-infected plants, as identified by 5′ RLM-RACE products, with the frequency of clones shown. (i.e. 17/20, indicates that 17 cleavage products were found out of 20 analyzed clones). Sequences are shown in the complementary polarity. The PARE reads were profiled against (B) the chloride channel protein CLC-b-like and (C) the RPS3a-like mRNAs. The vertical arrow denotes the predicted cleavage site. All of the reads were normalized to Transcripts Per Million (TPM). Note that different scales were used.
