Box C/D RNA-guided 2'-O methylations and the intron of tRNATrp are not essential for the viability of Haloferax volcanii.
Deleting the box C/D RNA-containing intron in the Haloferax volcanii tRNATrp gene abolishes RNA-guided 2'-O methylations of C34 and U39 residues of tRNATrp. However, this deletion does not affect growth under standard conditions.
