Abstract excerpt
U3 snoRNA and the associated Rrp9/U3-55K protein are essential for 18S rRNA production by the SSU-processome complex. U3 and Rrp9 are required for early pre-rRNA cleavages at sites A0, A1 and A2, but the mechanism remains unclear. Substitution of Arg 289 in Rrp9 to Ala (R289A) specifically reduced cleavage at sites A1 and A2. Surprisingly, R289 is located on the surface of the Rrp9 β-propeller structure opposite...
