With computer analysis on Genbank database and cDNA sequencing methods
a novel intron-encoded SnoRNA
termed C1 SnoRNA
from rice(Oryza sativa) was identified. The RNA possesse the structural feature (boxC
boxD and a terminal stem)typic of SnoRNA
as well as with a 12 nt complementary to a conserved sequence of rice 18s rRNA
which implies a possible function of C1 SnoRNA in 18s rRNA methylation. The gene coding for C1 SnoRNA is nested in the first intron of rice Hsp70 gene. This is the first report on intron-encoded SnoRNA characterized from rice and plant.
