Small nucleolar RNA U3
text:
In molecular biology, U3 snoRNA is a non-coding RNA found predominantly in the nucleolus.
U3 has C/D box motifs that technically make it a member of the box C/D class of snoRNAs; however, unlike other C/D box snoRNAs, it has not been shown to direct 2'-O-methylation of other RNAs.
Rather, U3 is thought to guide site-specific cleavage of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) during pre-rRNA processing. The box C/D element is a subset of the six short sequence elements found in all U3 snoRNAs, namely boxes A, A',
