Single-nucleotide resolution profiles of tRNA and Y-RNA cleavage during poly(IC) response. (A) Secondary structure cleavage profiles for Y-RNAs. RNase L targets the upper region at UN^N sites. RNY4 is cleaved predominantly at a single unconventional site CA^G. Stacked bar charts for RNA fragments are colored as in Figure 1E. (B) Graphic model of Y-RNA cleavage by RNase L. The main cleavage sites in all Y-RNAs are located in the region between nucleotides 24 and 32, away from the conserved binding sites for Ro60 and La autoantigens. (C) Secondary structure cleavage profiles for RNase L-sensitive tRNAs. (D) Graphic model for tRNA cleavage by RNase L versus ANG and bacterial endoribonucleases.
