The MIA1 and MIA2 genes in C. reinhardtii encode conserved coiled-coil proteins. (A) The genomic structure of the MIA1 and MIA2 genes, showing untranslated regions in blue, exons in red, and introns as black lines. The mutations in the mia1 alleles and mia2 are indicated. (B) Sequence analyses of the mia mutants (mia1-2/317, mia1-3/623, mia1-4/834, and mia2) reveal the consequences resulting from the indicated mutations. Coloring indicates DNA bases (blue, cytosine; red, thymine; green, adenine; black, guanine). Asterisks indicate mutations sites.
