Abstract :
Homo sapiens C/D box snoRNA HBII-82. This snoRNA is the human orthologue of the mouse MBII-82 described by Hüttenhofer et al. (2001). It is predicted to guide the 2'O-ribose methylation of 28S rRNA G3923.
In tetraopods and zebrafish, HBII-82 and its paralog HBII-82B are located in the SF3B3 gene (4 copies in zebrafish). In fugu, medaka, stickleback and tetraodon, 2 or 3 copies are localized in the LARP1 (la related protein isoform 1)gene. In ciona intestinalis, three copies of a possible ortholog are located in the RPL10 gene.
