Prokinetoplastid mitochondrial DNA encodes divergent homologs of trypanosomatid 9S and 12S rRNAs. (a) Pattern searches for the broadly conserved ‘530′ loop of the small subunit rRNA gene recovered expressed homologs of the 9S rRNA gene from P. ankaliazontas and A. spiralis. (b) Expressed transcripts containing the conserved ‘A-loop’ stem-loop motif of the large subunit rRNA gene (12S) were also found in P. ankaliazontas, A. spiralis and possibly Perkinsela. Bolded and red nucleotides denote identity and compensatory base changes between prokinetoplastid and L. tarentolae homologs, respectively. Boxes in (a) highlight complementary nucleotides known to participate in longer range interactions with each other.
