Breaking the 17-nt D loop microhelix into TAGCC4 repeats. In the sequence logo, different modes of folding the D loop microhelix are indicated (TAGCCTAGCCTAGCCTA repeat folding; folding in a 17-nt microhelix or a 31-nt minihelix (mH); folding in the cloverleaf tRNA (CL)). Parentheses indicate base pairing. Asterisks indicate unpaired bases. Tests A–I are predicted to test as similar for a perfect repeat. Degeneracy in the third repeat (invariant A14 vs. invariant G19) causes the test in Fig. 9H to test as negative for similarity.
