Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic ribosomal RNAs are post-transcriptionally modified by methylation at the ribose sugar of specific nucleotides. This takes place in the nucleolus and involves a family of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) with long regions (10-21 nucleotides) complementary to rRNA sequences spanning the methylation site--a complementary snoRNA is required for methylation at a specific site. Here we show that altering the...
