Figure 1

Organization of tRNA genes in L. major. The 83 tRNA genes found in the genome of the parasite are shown in orange. The predicted anticodons are indicated in parentheses. 5S rRNA, snRNA and 7SL genes are shown in green, purple and gray, respectively. Genes are drawn to scale, and the sizes of intergenic regions are indicated (in base pairs). Protein-coding genes that flank Pol III-transcribed genes are shown in blue (not to scale). The tRNA-Sec gene on chromosome 6 is located at positions 69,586 to 69,673, in the complement strand. Putative pseudogenes are not shown. For practical purposes, we regarded protein-coding genes as the limits of a particular Pol III locus. For that reason, we considered cluster chr09-II, III as two independent Pol III loci. More of such cases are shown in Fig. 2.
