Vertebrate guide RNAs for U2 snRNA pseudouridylation at position 43. (A) Predicted base-pairing with the U2 snRNA branch point recognition region. Arrows indicate nucleotides in U2 snRNA that differ between yeast and higher eukaryotes. (B,C) Testing guide RNA activities in a yeast cell system. (B) Modification of yeast U2 snRNA mediated by Drosophila scaRNA:ΨU2-35.45, mouse SCARNA8, Xenopus SNORA71, and pugU2-43 guide RNAs expressed in the pus7Δ, pus1Δ, and pus1Δsnr81Δ strains. (C) Modification of the vertebrate branch point recognition region (nucleotides 29–52) inserted into an artificial U87-derived RNA, mediated by mouse SCARNA8 and Drosophila scaRNA:ΨU2-35.45 guide RNAs expressed in the pus1Δ strain. Stars indicate the guide RNA-induced modifications.
