Figure 2.
K. thermotolerans RSTs carrying copies of LTRkt1. LTRkt1 are represented by the boxes containing a gray triangle and tRNA genes by a black arrow. The 5-bp sequences adjacent to LTRkt1, which may correspond to the target site duplication, are indicated at both extremities of each element. The distances between LTRkt1 and tRNA genes are shown in speech bubbles. Note that seven of the nine RSTs have LTRs 59–76 bp upstream of tRNA genes. The accession numbers of the corresponding RSTs are respectively (top to bottom): AL421848,AL421381, AL422269, AL420237, AL420504, AL420956, AL419815, AL420355, and AL421226.
