A network of universals in cluster 1. Four invariant nucleotides form a network around the noncanonical A1319–U1315 reverse Hoogsteen pair and the A978–A1360 type V A–A pair in the hairpin loop of helix h42. Note that the bases are virtually inaccessible inside the network, which is remote from any known functional site.
