Isolation and characterization of a human U3 small nucleolar RNA gene.

U3 RNA is an abundant, capped, small nucleolar RNA, implicated in the processing of preribosomal RNA. In this study, a DNA clone coding for U3 RNA (clone U3-1) was isolated from a human genomic library and characterized. The DNA sequence was identical to that of human U3 RNA isolated from HeLa cells. The flanking regions showed homology to the enhancer, promoter, and 3'-processing signal found in U1 and U2 snRNA genes. Further, the recently identified "U3 box" (GATTGGCTGCN10TATGTTAATTATGG) of rat U3 genes (Stroke and Weiner, (1985) J. Mol. Biol. 184, 183-193), was also found in the human U3 gene. This gene was transcribed in Xenopus oocytes; it is the first cloned true human U3 gene.
