Abstract excerpt
The sequences and structural features of Xenopus laevis U3 small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) necessary for pre-rRNA cleavage at sites 1 and 2 to form 18 S rRNA were assayed by depletion/rescue experiments in Xenopus oocytes. Mutagenesis results demonstrated that the putative stem of U3 domain I is unnecessary for 18 S rRNA processing. A model consistent with earlier experimental data is proposed for the structure of...
