Abstract excerpt
Correct docking of U3 small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) on pre-ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA) is essential for rRNA processing to produce 18S rRNA. In this report, we have used Xenopus oocytes to characterize the structural requirements of the U3 snoRNA 3'-hinge interaction with region E1 of the external transcribed spacer (ETS) of pre-rRNA. This interaction is crucial for docking to initiate rRNA processing. 18S rRNA...
