RNU5F-1
Description
The RNU5F-1 (RNA, U5F small nuclear 1) is a snRNA gene located on chromosome 1.
RNU5F-1 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) that is involved in the modification of other RNAs. It is a C/D box snoRNA, meaning it contains two conserved sequence motifs known as the C box and the D box. These motifs are essential for the snoRNA's function in guiding the methylation of uridines (Us) to pseudouridines (Ψs) in ribosomal RNA (rRNA). This modification is essential for the proper folding and function of rRNA, which is a crucial component of ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis.
