Abstract excerpt
Pseudouridine (Ψ) is present at conserved, functionally important regions in the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) from all three domains of life. Little, however, is known about the functions of Ψ modifications in bacterial ribosomes. An Escherichia coli strain has been constructed in which all seven rRNA Ψ synthases have been inactivated and whose ribosomes are devoid of all Ψs. Surprisingly, this strain displays only...
