Alignment of nucleotide sequences that comprise untranslated exon one and exon two from Ce–bli-4 (Ce) and Cb–bli-4 (Cb). The splice acceptor for the outron/exon one boundary and splice donor are in boldface type. The bli-4 initiator methionine is outlined within exon two. Exonic sequences are in uppercase, introns in lowercase. (B) Alignment of region VIII sequences fromCe–bli-4 with the corresponding region from Cb–bli-4. bli-4B predicted coding sequences are in upper case. Thebli-4B polyadenylation motif has been underlined, and the site of addition for the poly(A)+ tail is indicated by the vertical arrow. The splice acceptor within the intron has been highlighted in bold.
