Distinct from other members, Fibulin-5 contains an integrin-binding RGD motif which binds to integrins and mediates endothelial cell adhesion [ 3, 4].

A descriptor file (see supplementary information, Text S2) for the RNAbob programme was written based on the consensus features around the ISL, including the "AAC" motif which binds Giardia U2 at the 5' end of the "ACAGAG" loop, and the "ACAGAG" motif and the "AGC" invariant tri-nucleotide which are two of the important characteristic features of U6-snRNA.

In contrast the G3 motif, which binds to the Mg2+ ion, matched the consensus for 135 of 162 (83%) septins.
