Nucleolar localization signals of box H/ACA small nucleolar RNAs.
The two major families of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), Box C/D and Box H/ACA, are generated in the nucleoplasm and transported to the nucleolus where they function in rRNA processing and modification. We have investigated the sequences involved in the intranuclear transport of Box H/ACA snoRNAs by assaying the localization of injected fluorescent RNAs in Xenopus oocyte nuclear spreads. Our a...
متن کاملEvolution of small nucleolar RNAs in nematodes
In contrast to mRNAs, which are templates for translating proteins, non-protein coding (npc) RNAs (also known as 'non-coding' RNA, ncRNA), exhibit various functions in different compartments and developmental stages of the cell. Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), one of the largest classes of npcRNAs, guide post-transcriptional modifications of other RNAs that are crucial for appropriate RNA foldi...
متن کاملHomologs of small nucleolar RNAs in Archaea.
In eukaryotes, dozens of posttranscriptional modifications are directed to specific nucleotides in ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) by small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). We identified homologs of snoRNA genes in both branches of the Archaea. Eighteen small sno-like RNAs (sRNAs) were cloned from the archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius by coimmunoprecipitation with archaeal fibrillarin and NOP56, the homologs ...
متن کاملThe emerging landscape of small nucleolar RNAs in cell biology
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are a large class of small noncoding RNAs present in all eukaryotes sequenced thus far. As a family, they have been well characterized as playing a central role in ribosome biogenesis, guiding either the sequence-specific chemical modification of pre-rRNA (ribosomal RNA) or its processing. However, in higher eukaryotes, numerous orphan snoRNAs were described over ...
متن کاملSmall nucleolar RNAs and RNA-guided post-transcriptional modification.
snoRNAs (small nucleolar RNAs) constitute one of the largest and best-studied classes of non-coding RNAs that confer enzymatic specificity. With associated proteins, these snoRNAs form ribonucleoprotein complexes that can direct 2'-O-methylation or pseudouridylation of target non-coding RNAs. Aided by computational methods and high-throughput sequencing, new studies have expanded the diversity ...
