%X Small nuclrular RNA (snoRNA) is one of the most important elements participating in eukaryotic ribosomal biogenesis. The present report describes the results of the identification of a novel snoRNA, Z3, from yeast S.cerevisiae. Z3 snoRNA is 106 nts in length. It contains box C, D elements and a 13 nt complementarity to 25S rRNA. Thia antisense segment, together with the downstream box D, guides a 2′-O-ribose methylation of cytidine acid at position 2956th in yeaat 25 S rRNA. Z3 snoRNA, encoded by an independent transcribed gene on the chromosomeXI of yeast, poseses the same functional elements responsible for the rRNA methylation site as that of the intron-encoded U35 snoRNA of vertebrate.
