High impact information on SNORA64

  • In this study we have characterized nine novel human ACA snoRNAs (U64-U72) [1].
  • Our analysis of U17, U64 and U65 has revealed that disruption of either of the conserved sequence elements, Box H or Box ACA, eliminates nucleolar localization [2].
  • Human mitochondrial (mt) tRNA(Lys) deviates from this principle and folds into various inactive conformations, due to the absence of the post-transcriptional modification m(1)A9 which hinders base-pairing with U64 in the native tRNA [3].
