Abstract
The U3 snoRNA is an exceptional box C/D snoRNA, which is involved in
pre-rRNA processing without directing chemical modifications. We report
here on a comprehensive computational survey resulting in U3 sequences
for more than 90 additional eukaryotes. This extended data basis is used
to improve the secondary structure models. The detailed investigation of
the structural variation of U3 snoRNAs turns out to be much more
extensive than previously thought. Many fungal U3 genes, in addition,
contain introns. U3 promoters are snRNA-like but show substantial
variations even between related species.
