2′-O-Methylation of Ribosomal RNA: Towards an Epitranscriptomic Control of Translation?
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) undergoes post-transcriptional modification of over 200 nucleotides, predominantly 2′-O-methylation (2′-O-Me). 2′-O-Methylation protects RNA from hydrolysis and modifies RNA strand flexibility but does not contribute to Watson-Crick base pairing. Th...
