Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are the best characterized non-coding RNAs transcribed by RNA polymerase II. They are
produced as precursors, whose extended 3�?? ends are trimmed exonucleolytically whereas 5�?? ends either undergo combined
endo and exonucleolytic processing by Rnt1 and Rat1 respectively or remain unchanged. In the latter case, the m7G cap
becomes hypermethylated by Tgs1.cRT-PCRand northern blot analyses suggest that processing of snoRNA 3�?? and 5�?? termini
is tightly coupled. Inhibition of 5�?? end maturation in rnt1�? strain cause the accumulation of snoRNA precursors that do not
possess mature 3�?? ends but carry polyadenylated extensions. This defect is further increased when components of the capbinding
complex (CBC) or methyltransferase Tgs1 are missing. Although we observe an accumulation of pre-snoRNAs in
rnt1�?? strain, there are also mature snoRNAs present. These results suggest the existence of an alternative pathway of 5�?? end
processing that most likely involves pre-snoRNA cap removal by Dcp1/Dcp2 complex. Interestingly most pre-snoRNAs that
accumulates in dcp2�? strains are not cleaved by Rnt1 which was confirmed by 5´ RACE analysis. Obtained data strongly
suggest the existence of a quality control mechanism that coordinates 5�?? and 3�?? end processing.
