Antisense box C/D small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs)
guide the 2'-O-ribose methylations of eukaryotic rRNAs and
small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) through formation of a specific base
pairing at each RNA methylation site. By analysis of a box C/D snoRNA
cDNA library constructed from rat brain RNAs, we have identified a novel box C/D snoRNA, RBII-36, which is devoid of complementarity to
rRNA or an snRNA and exhibits a brain-specific expression pattern. It
is uniformly expressed in all major areas of adult rat brain (except
for choroid plexus) and throughout rat brain ontogeny but exclusively
detected in neurons in which it exhibits a nucleolar localization. In
vertebrates, known methylation guide snoRNAs are intron-encoded and
processed from transcripts of housekeeping genes. In contrast, RBII-36
snoRNA is intron-encoded in a gene preferentially expressed in the rat
central nervous system and not in proliferating cells. Remarkably, this
host gene, which encodes a previously reported noncoding RNA, Bsr,
spans tandemly repeated 0.9-kilobase units including the
snoRNA-containing intron. The novel brain-specific snoRNA appears to
result not only from processing of the debranched lariat but also from
endonucleolytic cleavages of unspliced Bsr RNA (i.e. an
alternative splicing-independent pathway unreported so far for
mammalian intronic snoRNAs). Sequences homologous to RBII-36 snoRNA
were exclusively detected in the Rattus genus of rodents,
suggesting a very recent origin of this brain-specific snoRNA.
