Regulation of the U3-, U8-, and U13snoRNA Expression by the DEAD Box Proteins Ddx5/Ddx17 with Consequences for Cell Proliferation and Survival
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in cooperation with their associated proteins (snoRNPs) contribute to the maturation of ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA, and other transcripts. Most snoRNPs mediate chemical base modifications of their RNA substrates, and a few others, like those formed by the C/D snoRNAs...
