Overview over the different forms of LsRXR. The five different cDNAs (LsRXR a-e) shown in grey encode for four putative proteins (LsRXRI-IV). The two longest forms contains both, the DNA binding domain (DBD) and a ligand binding domain (LBD), while the two shortest transcripts only contain an intact LBD. The positions of the two fragments (fr) used for the RNAi (dsRNA fr 1 and dsRNA fr 2) are shown as well as the position of the in situ probe at 3′ end (3′ISH probe), the position of the cDNA blot probe (Probe cDNA blot), the two introns (I1 and I2) and the two Q-PCR assays, assay1 (A1) and assay2 (A2). The position of the southern blot probe is the same as that for dsRNA fr 2.
