LSU D3 region secondary structure of exemplar species. A- Model for the secondary structure of the Oribatida mite Rostrozetes ovulum. Gray-shaded areas refer to alignable regions. B- Region D3 of the Scorpion Androctonus australis, note presence of helix D3_1. Blue-shaded region refers to the D3_1 helix present in most Chelicerata, number of nts associated with RAA2a and RAA2b refers to them alone. C- Region D3 of the Prostigmata Halacarus sp., note that similarly to R. ovulum in that it lacks a D3_1 helix.
