Conserved Methyltransferase Spb1 Targets mRNAs for Regulated Modification with 2′-O-Methyl Ribose
Kristen M. Bartoli, Cassandra Schaening-Burgos, Thomas M. Carlile, Wendy V. Gilbert
The paper identifies 2′-O-methyl ribose (Nm) as a prevalent mRNA modification in yeast, showing that Spb1 methylates ribosomal protein mRNAs and that its expression is required for normal levels of target mRNAs.
