Five U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) isoforms were detected and characterized from the posterior silk gland (PSG) of the silk moth Bombyx mori (Nistari strain). Using the currently accepted U6 secondary structure model as a basis for comparison, the variants were analyzed for nucleotide differences across the sequence with a focus on known functional domains. Differences were observed primarily in single-stranded areas of which sixty percent were found in the highly conserved U4-U6 binding sites.
