Fig. 3. Regions of the mitochondrial genome of Artemia franciscana footprinted with dimethylsulfide (DMS). Light grey boxes are segments where DNA-protein contacts were localized (indicated by arrows below). The dark grey box depicts the putative H-strand initiation region (HSP) where no contacts were seen. tRNA (L, tRNA_leu; V, tRNA_val; M, tRNA_met) and rRNAs (12S and 16S) are identified. Approximate primer positions are noted by small arrows (above). The locations of the strong H-strand promoter (HSP; larger left-facing arrow), the weak HSP (smaller left-facing arrow), the L-strand promoter (LSP; right-facing arrow) and the termination region (octagon) are given. Drawing is not to scale.
