Abstract
The functional role of a recently identified class of small nucleolar (sno)RNAs has been elucidated: the 'box H/ACA' snoRNAs act as guide RN As, specifying the position of evolutionarily conserved pseudouridines in ribosomal (r)RNA via an rRNA-snoRNA base-pairing interaction that forms a 'pseudouridine pocket'.
