Figure 1

Schematic representation of the strand switch region (SSR) of chromosome 1 in L. major Friedlin. The nt positions (figures) refer to the complete sequence of this chromosome available on the GeneDB website [28]. XPP: acidocalcisomal exopolyphosphatase gene; PAXP: poly(A) export protein gene; IS: putative transcription initiation site, with the curved arrow showing transcription sense [14]. The start codons of both genes are indicated by a closed arrowhead. It is noteworthy that, after careful compared analysis with the genomes of Trypanosoma brucei and T. cruzi, we repositioned the start codon of PAXP at position 79049 and not at 79145 as wrongly indicated on GeneDB. The positions of the primers on the XPP and PAXP genes are indicated as arrows.
