Abstract excerpt
We have studied the role of the U14 small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) in pre-rRNA methylation and processing in Xenopus oocytes. Depletion of U14 in Xenopus oocytes was achieved by co-injecting two nonoverlapping antisense oligonucleotides. Focusing on the earliest precursor, depletion experiments revealed that the U14 snoRNA is essential for 2'-O-ribose methylation at nt 427 of the 18S rRNA. Injection of U14-depleted...
