Certain residues of the thumb loop are important for the guide RNA-dependent activity of Cbf5. Effects of alanine substitution of some conserved residues (marked above each panel) of the thumb loop of HvCbf5 for Ψ formation at positions 1940, 1942, and 2605 were determined by primer extensions following U-specific (A,C) and CMCT reactions (B,D). The reactions were done as in Figure 3.
