---|---|
Synonyms: | box C/D small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein complex, box C/D snoRNP complex, box C/D snoRNP ribose 2'-O methylase complex, box C/D snoRNP ribose-2'-O-methyltransferase complex, box C/D sRNP complex |
Definition: | A ribonucleoprotein complex containing a box C/D type RNA that is capable of ribose-2'-O-methylation of target RNAs. Box C/D type RNAs are widespread in eukaryotes and in Archaea, suggesting that an RNA-based guide mechanism for directing specific RNA 2'-O-ribose methylations was present in the common ancestor of Archaea and Eukarya. |
