small nucleolar RNA
(snoRNA) and also often referred to as a guide RNA.
snoRNA TBR17 belongs to the
C/D box class of snoRNAs which contain the conserved sequence motifs known as the C box (UGAUGA) and the D box (CUGA). Most of the members of the box C/D family function in directing site-specific 2'-O-methylation of substrate RNAs.[1]
TBR17 was one of seventeen snoRNAs identified in Trypanosoma brucei by immunoprecipitation with anti-fibrillarin antibodies.[2] Together with TBR5 and TBR7 it is a part of a tandemly repeated snoRNA gene cluster, located within the spliced leader RNA (SLA).[3] The cluster genes are produced as polycistronic RNAs.[4]
