Abstract
The U3 snoRNA is an essential player in the initial steps of
ribosomal RNA biogenesis which is ubiquitously present in Eukarya. It is
exceptional among the small nucleolar RNAs in its size, the presence of
multiple conserved sequence box, a highly conserved secondary structure
core, its biogenesis as an independent pol-III gene, and its involvement
in pre-rRNA cleavage rather than chemical modification. Fungal U3 snoRNAs
share many features with their sisters from other eukaryotic kingdoms but
differ in particular in their 5' regions, which in fungi has a
distinctive consensus structure and often harbours introns. Here we
report on a comprehensive homology search and detailed analysis of the
evolution of sequence and secondary structure features covering the
entire kingdom Fungi.
