Abstract excerpt
One of the few rRNA modifications conserved between bacteria and eukaryotes is the base dimethylation present at the 3' end of the small subunit rRNA. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this modification is carried out by Dim1p. We previously reported that genetic depletion of Dim1p not only blocked this modification but also strongly inhibited the pre-rRNA processing steps that lead to the synthesis of 18S...
