Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are extensively modified during the transcription and subsequent maturation. Three types of modifications, 2'-O-methylation of ribose moiety, pseudouridylation, and base modifications, are introduced either by a snoRNA-driven mechanism or by stand-alone enzymes. Modified nucleotides are clustered at the functionally important sites, including peptidyl transferase center (PTC). Therefore, it...
