Post-transcriptional synthesis of 2′-O-methylated nucleotides and pseudouridines in Sm spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs takes place in the nucleoplasmic Cajal bodies and it is directed by guide RNAs...

Dynamic Sorting of Nuclear Components into Distinct Nucleolar Caps during Transcriptional Inhibition

Shav-Tal, Yaron, Blechman, Janna, Darzacq, Xavier, Montagna, Cristina, Dye, Billy T., Patton, James G., ...

Nucleolar segregation is observed under some physiological conditions of transcriptional arrest. This process can be mimicked by transcriptional arrest after actinomycin D treatment leading to the...

Cotranscriptional Recognition of Human Intronic Box H/ACA snoRNAs Occurs in a Splicing-Independent Manner

Richard, Patricia, Kiss, Arnold M., Darzacq, Xavier, Kiss, Tamás

Processing from pre-mRNA introns is a widespread mechanism to generate human box C/D and H/ACA snoRNAs. Recent studies revealed that an optimal position relative to the 3′ splice site is important...
