The ies6 RNA motif and its expression. a Consensus sequence and secondary structure of the ies6 motif. Annotations are as described for Fig. 1. b Agarose gel separation of RT-PCR products generated by using primers specific for the sense or antisense transcripts as designated. Bands corresponding to the double-stranded DNA products derived from the sense and antisense RNA templates are indicated. M designates double-stranded DNA size markers, and lanes containing PCR products generated with (+) or without (–) the use of reverse transcriptase (RT) are identified. The asterisk identifies a spurious PCR product
