Figure 5.
(A) Sequence alignment of different polymorphic BES promoter types found in the different T. brucei telomere clones. The number of the sequence type is indicated on the left. The consensus sequence is shown at the top. Similar nucleotides are indicated with dots. The T2 TAR3′ primer indicated is the downstream end of the TAR target fragment. (B) Sequence alignment of the variable region of ESAG6 in the different T. brucei telomere clones. The number of the ESAG6 type is indicated with numbers on the left. The ESAG6 hypervariable region as identified by Zomerdijk et al. (1990) is indicated with a box.
