Figure 6

The 5' ends of Drosophila falleni and Drosophila innubila elements function as ribozymes. (A) The RNA secondary structures and highlighted nucleotides for R2Dfa and R2/R1Dfa_SIDE are as described in Figure 4. The corresponding regions in the D. innubila elements are identical except for the boxed U in R2Dfa (A in R2Din) and the boxed G in the R2/R1Dfa_SIDE (A in R2/R1Din_SIDE). J1/2 sequences for the elements are shown below with nucleotide differences relative to R2Dfa boxed in blue. (B) In vitro cotranscription/cleavage assays as described in Figure 4.
