Chemical Approaches for Structure and Function of RNA in Postgenomic Era
Table 8
Distribution of ESE, 5′ splice sites, branch sites, and 3′ splice sites. The ESE, 5′ splice site, branch site, and 3′ splice site in 4.5S RNA I and Alu elements in FMR1 gene transcript are screened by ESE finder (version 3) [13]. For this comparison, the number of motifs is calculated per 100 nucleotides. The motif patterns in Alu elements are all very much alike and the 4.5S RNA I resembles them. A difference is found in that 5′ splice sites in (+) Alu are more than in (−) Alu and 3′ splice sits are more in (−) Alu than in (+) Alu.
