2'-O-methylation (2'-O-Me) is a common nucleotide epitranscriptomics modification of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). The rRNA is transcribed from DNA and then used to create proteins through translation. [ 1 ] The resulting protein would normally be solely dependent on the gene it was translated from, but the methylation of the RNA would influence the ...
An unusual guide snoRNA U85 that functions in both 2′-O-ribose methylation and pseudouridylation of small nuclear RNA (snRNA) U5 has been identified. [14] This composite snoRNA contains both C/D and H/ACA box domains and associates with the proteins specific to each class of snoRNA (fibrillarin and Gar1p, respectively).
Ribosomes are the macromolecular machines that are responsible for mRNA translation into proteins. The eukaryotic ribosome, also called the 80S ribosome, is made up of two subunits – the large 60S subunit (which contains the 25S [in plants] or 28S [in mammals], 5.8S, and 5S rRNA and 46 ribosomal proteins) and a small 40S subunit (which contains the 18S rRNA and 33 ribosomal proteins).

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + guanosine 2922 in 27S pre-rRNA S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2'-O-methylguanosine 2922 in 27S pre-rRNA Spb1p is a site-specific 2'-O-ribose RNA methyltransferase that catalyses the formation of 2'-O-methylguanosine2922.
2'-O-methylation, m6A methylation, m1G methylation as well as m5C are most commonly methylation marks observed in different types of RNA. 6A is an enzyme that catalyzes chemical reaction as following: [9] S-adenosyl-L-methionine + DNA adenine S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + DNA 6-methylaminopurine
ScaRNAs guide the modification (methylation and pseudouridylation) of RNA polymerase II transcribed spliceosomal RNAs U1, U2, U4, U5 and U12. The first scaRNA identified was U85. [ 1 ] It is unlike typical snoRNAs in that it is a composite C/D box and H/ACA box snoRNAs and can guide both pseudouridylation and 2′- O -methylation.
In molecular biology, Small nucleolar RNA SNORD28 (U28) is a member of the C/D class of snoRNA which contain the C (UGAUGA) and D (CUGA) box motifs. U28 is encoded within the U22 snoRNA host gene (UHG) in mammals [1] and is thought to act as a 2'-O-ribose methylation guide for ribosomal RNA.
U27 is encoded within the U22 snoRNA host gene (UHG) in mammals [1] and is thought to act as a 2'-O-ribose methylation guide for ribosomal RNA. [2] This family also contains several related snoRNAs from yeast and plants.
