Small nucleolar RNA snR54

snR54 is a non-coding RNA that is a member of the C/D class of snoRNA which contain the C box motif (UGAUGA) and D box motif (CUGA). Most of the members of the box C/D family function in directing site-specific 2'-O-methylation of substrate RNAs. This snoRNA was first identified by a computational screen followed by experimental verification.[1] This RNA guides the 2'-O-methylation of 18S rRNA. In yeast this snoRNA is found to reside in an intron of the IMD4 gene.

This snoRNA has been identified in both yeasts and Drosophila melanogaster.[2]

gollark: No, 'twas a bug in one of my TRIGGER thingies.
gollark: Anyway, it's... fixed now? Partly?
gollark: Oh I see, for some... strange reason... it was picking up an error in a *trigger* as being there.
gollark: FOOLISH DATABASE, THAT IS THREE COLUMNS AND THREE VALUES!
gollark: ```[DATA EXPUNGED]/src/index.ts:106const addRevisionQuery = DB.prepare(`INSERT INTO revisions (page, content, contentType) VALUES (?, ?, ?)`) ^SqliteError: 2 values for 3 columns```Not a syntax error but REALLY?!
