The defining feature of methylation guide RNAs is two sets of box C and D motifs that form kink-turn structures specifically recognized by L7Ae family proteins. Here, we engineered a new type of methylation guides that lack C/D motifs and require no L7Ae for assembly and function. We determined a crystal structure of a bipartite C/D-free guide RNA in complex with Nop5, fibrillarin and substrate in the active form at 2.2 A resolution. The stems of new guide RNAs functionally replace C/D motifs in Nop5 binding, precisely placing the substrate for site-specific modification. We also found that the bipartite architecture and association of L7Ae with C/D motifs enhance modification when association of guide RNAs or substrates is weak. Our study provides insights into the variations, robustness and possible evolutionary path of methylation guide RNAs.
