a rRNA positions have an AAG:U motif in more than 33% of the bacterial sequences and are indicated in red on Figure 5. b The position number is the nucleotide at the 3’ loop end, at the loop-helix junction. c More detailed information is available at http://www.rna.icmb.utexas.edu/ANALYSIS/A-STORY/. d A, AA.AG@helix.ends, EL, E-like Loop; GA, Tandem G:A pairings; P, adenosine platform (see Discussion). e Although this site contains less than 50% AAG, it was included because it contains more than 33% G:U and narrowly missed the required minimum for AAG.
