Transient nucleolar localization Of U6 small nuclear RNA in Xenopus Laevis oocytes.
Lange TS, Gerbi SA.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Recent studies on the 2'-O-methylation and pseudouridylation of U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) hypothesize that these posttranscriptional modifications might occur in the nucleolus. In this report, we present direct evidence for the nucleolar localization of U6 snRNA and analyze the kinetics of U6 nucleolar localization after injection of in vitro transcribed fluorescein-labeled transcripts into Xenopus laevis oocytes. In contrast to U3 small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) which developed strong nucleolar labeling over 4 h and maintained strong nucleolar signals through 24 h, U6 snRNA localized to nucleoli immediately after injection, but nucleolar staining decreased after 4 h. By 24 h after injection of U6 snRNA, only weak nucleolar signals were observed. Unlike the time-dependent profile of strong nucleolar localization of U6 snRNA or U3 snoRNA, injection of fluorescein-labeled U2 snRNA gave weak nucleolar staining at all times throughout a 24-h period; U2 snRNA modifications are believed to occur outside of the nucleolus. The notion that the decrease of U6 signals over time was due to its trafficking out of nucleoli and not to transcript degradation was supported by the demonstration of U6 snRNA stability over time. Therefore, in contrast to snoRNAs like U3, U6 snRNA transiently passes through nucleoli.
