Genomic organization of the T. molitor IMD (TmIMD) gene. (A) Schematic representation of the TmIMD gene. The genomic structure (open bar) shows three exons (black) interspersed with two introns (grey). The translation start (ATG) and stop (TAA) codons are marked demarcating the ORF region. (B) The sequence of the TmIMD gene with the ORF region (capitalized). Exonic regions are in bold. Transcription start, translation start codon, and translation stop codons are boxed. The poly(A) sequence is indicated in italics. In the mRNA, the poly(A) begins after the last nucleotide in exon 3.
