The Structure of the SnoRNA Dictates the Production of the Protein-coding Host (IMAGE)
Caption
Schematic illustration of how two different snoRNA structures impact the expression of the host gene. Left: specific snoRNA structure obtained when snoRNA proteins bind to the snoRNA. This structure facilitates an alternative splicing of the RNA, inhibiting the production of protein. Right: Alternative snoRNA structure formed by the naked snoRNA, which leads to the production of a protein-coding mRNA, ultimately producing protein.
