Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the X-linked gene, DKC1, encoding dyskerin, cause dyskeratosis congenita by leading to decreased telomerase activity and causing short telomeres. Dyskerin is also a pseudouridine synthase that modifies nascent ribosomal and other RNAs and it is not known if this function is affected by the mutations. Here we show that newly synthesized ribosomal RNA, extracted from human and mouse cells with...
