- Small nucleolar RNA F1/F2/snoR5a
Small nucleolar RNA F1/F2/snoR5a refers to a group of related
non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecules which function in the biogenesis of othersmall nuclear RNA s (snRNAs). These small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are modifiying RNAs and usually located in thenucleolus of the eukaryotic cell which is a major site of snRNA biogenesis.These three snoRNas identified in rice ("
Oryza sativa "), called F1, F2 and snoR5a, belong to the H/ACA box class of snoRNAs as they have the predicted hairpin-hinge-hairpin-tail structure and has the conserved H/ACA-box motifs. The majority of H/ACA box class of snoRNAs are involved in guiding the modification ofuridine ) topseudouridine in other RNAscite journal |author=Kiss T |title=Small nucleolar RNAs: an abundant group of noncoding RNAs with diverse cellular functions |journal=Cell |volume=109 |issue=2 |pages=145–8 |year=2002 |pmid=12007400 |doi= |issn=] .References
