Sequence alignment of 30 distinct representatives of the Fibro-purF motif. Shaded nucleotides identify base complementarity corresponding to predicted hairpins P1, P2, and P3. Consensus row letters in red, black, and gray identify nucleotides present in >97%, >90%, or >75% of the representatives, respectively.
