tvlegu-1 and tvicp-2 transcription start site identification. (a) Genomic organization compared with the ESTs (http://www.trichdb.org/) and 5′-RACE analysis of tvlegu-1 mRNA to identify the possible TSS [42], Rendón-Gandarilla unpublished data. (b) Genomic organization of tvicp-2 gene showing the putative Motif 4 (M4, red box) and Motif 2 (M2, purple box) compared with the ESTs (http://www.trichdb.org/) of tvicp-2 mRNAs in different growth conditions to identify the possible TSS [90]. Motif 3 (M3, green box). Arrow: TSS.
