Previous and new models for the yeast U3 snoRNA/pre-ribosomal RNA interaction. (Top) The 5′-terminal sequence of U3 snoRNA was previously proposed to form five base-pair interactions with the pre-rRNA. They were respectively designated as helices I, II, III, V and VI in yeast (9,10,28,30–32,34–36). (Bottom) Based on cryo-EM studies, an alternative model including three of the previously proposed interactions (helices II, V with an extension represented in red and VI) and an alternative helix III (represented in red) was established (40,44).
