Abstract excerpt
rRNA molecules undergo extensive posttranscriptional modification, predominantly 2'-O-ribose methylation and pseudouridine formation, both of which are guided by the numerous small nucleolar RNAs in eukaryotes. Here, we describe an exception to this rule. The essential yeast nucleolar protein Spb1p is a site-specific rRNA methyltransferase modifying the universally conserved G2922 that is located within the A...
