Abstract

H/ACA small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) guide pseudouridylation as part of a small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein complex (snoRNP). Disruption of H/ACA snoRNA levels in stem cells impairs pluripotency, yet it remains unclear how H/ACA snoRNAs contribute to differentiation. To determine if H/ACA snoRNA levels are dynamic during differentiation, we comprehensively profiled H/ACA snoRNA abundance in multiple murine cell types and during differentiation in three cellular models, including mouse embryonic stem cells and mouse myoblasts. We determined that the profiles of H/ACA snoRNA abundance are cell-type specific, and we identified a subset of snoRNAs that are specifically regulated during differentiation. Additionally, we demonstrated that a decrease in Snora27 abundance upon differentiation corresponds to a decrease in pseudouridylation of its target site within the E-site transfer RNA (tRNA) binding region of the 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in the large ribosomal subunit. Together, these data point toward a potential model in which H/ACA snoRNAs are specifically regulated during differentiation to alter pseudouridylation and fine tune ribosome function.
