Small nucleolar RNA Me28S-Am2589

Me28S-Am2589 is a non-coding RNA, meaning it does not make proteins. It helps modify other RNAs, especially small nuclear RNAs, and it works inside the nucleolus, a part of the cell where ribosome and RNA processing happen.

This snoRNA belongs to the C/D box class, which means it contains two conserved sequence motifs called the C box (UGAUGA) and the D box (CUGA). Members of this family guide chemical changes to target RNAs.

Predicted function: Me28S-Am2589 is expected to guide the 2'-O-methylation of the adenine at position 2589 in 28S ribosomal RNA (28S A2589). This modification helps regulate how ribosomes function in the cell.
