Sno Storm in the Nucleolus: New Roles for Myriad Small RNPs
Open accessAbstract
Biologists have known for decades that the nucleolus is the compartment of the eukaryotic cell most densely packed with RNA. But few would have guessed that, in addition to the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) at various stages of maturation, the nucleolus contains a multitude of discrete small RNA molecules. These small nucleolar RNAs, or snoRNAs, are responsible not only for orchestrating the cleavage events that cut the long pre-rRNA into 18S, 5.8S, and 28S molecules, but also for adding finishing touches to rRNAs as they assemble into the ultimate products of the nucleolus, the ribosomal subunits. These finishing touches include remodeling of certain rRNA uridines into pseudouridines and tagging of numerous ribose moieties with methyl groups. The amazing recent realization is that each of these modifications is directed by its own specific snoRNA that is packaged (as are all small nuclear RNAs) into a ribonucleoprotein (snoRNP) particle.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
