Abstract excerpt
During site-specific pseudouridylation of eukaryotic rRNAs, selection of correct substrate uridines for isomerization into pseudouridine is directed by small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). The pseudouridylation guide snoRNAs share a common 'hairpin-hinge- hairpin-tail' secondary structure and two conserved sequence motifs, the H and ACA boxes, located in the single-stranded hinge and tail regions, respectively. In the...
