FIGURE 2.

(A) A full-length human U87 scaRNA that contains a U6 snRNA insertion (U87-F-U6[48–70]) concentrates in CBs. (Left panel) Bright red FISH signals are detected in CBs of transfected HeLa cells after hybridization with a Cy3-labeled U87 antisense probe. (Middle panel) A few cells have a weak signal in the nucleoli. (Right panel) Control nontransfected cells show no detectable signal. Similar FISH patterns were observed when HeLa cells were transfected with U87-F constructs containing fragments of 18S and 28S rRNAs (not shown). (B) Fragments of rRNAs and U6 snRNA are properly modified when they are targeted to CBs (red traces). Modification also occurs when the fragments are inserted into a U87-S construct that lacks the H/ACA domain, which contains the CAB-box (blue trace). In each case, black traces are controls.
