Figure 2

Multiple noncoding regions of the mitochondrial genome of a bryozoan, Bugula neritina , putative secondary structures of NC3, NC4 and NC10, and "CTT" repeat motif observed in NC10. A) Fifteen (NC1-NC16) larger than 10 bp of the 27 multiple noncoding regions of the Bugula neritina mitochondrial genome (black boxes). The circular genome is linearized. Genes encoded on the opposite strand are shown in gray boxes. NC3, NC4 and NC10 may be related to the mode of regulation of mitochondrial replication and transcription. B) Plausible helix structures predicted from NC3, NC4 and NC10, and 9 "CTT" repeats observed in NC10. The secondary structures and repeats may play important roles in the regulation of mitochondrial replication and transcription. Arabic numbers inside the encircled loop regions of each helix and in parentheses between helices indicate the number of nucleotides in each region.
