Updated project metadata. Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are main effectors of mRNA decoding, peptide-bond formation and ribosome dynamics during translation. Ribose 2'-O-methylation is the most abundant rRNA chemical modification, and display a complex pattern in rRNA. We globally challenged rRNA 2'-O-Me by inhibiting the rRNA methyl-transferase fibrillarin (FBL) in human cells. Since FBL participates in rRNA processing, we wonder if FBL knockdown could alter the assembly of ribosomes.
