タイトル A bifunctional snoRNA with separable activities in guiding rRNA 2'-O-methylation and scaffolding gametogenesis effectors.
ジャーナル Nat Commun
Abstract Small nucleolar RNAs are non-coding transcripts that guide chemical modifications of RNA substrates and modulate gene expression at the epigenetic and post-transcriptional levels. However, the extent of their regulatory potential and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we identify a conserved, previously unannotated intronic C/D-box snoRNA, termed snR107, hosted in the fission yeast long non-coding RNA mamRNA and carrying two independent cellular functions. On the one hand, snR107 guides site-specific 25S rRNA 2'-O-methylation and promotes pre-rRNA processing and 60S subunit biogenesis. On the other hand, snR107 associates with the gametogenic RNA-binding proteins Mmi1 and Mei2, mediating their reciprocal inhibition and restricting meiotic gene expression during sexual differentiation. Both functions require distinct cis-motifs within snR107, including a conserved 2'-O-methylation guiding sequence. Together, our results position snR107 as a dual regulator of rRNA modification and gametogenesis effectors, expanding our vision on the non-canonical functions exerted by snoRNAs in cell fate decisions.
