Abstract excerpt
The pseudouridylase Pus1 catalyzes pseudouridine (Ψ) formation at multiple uridine residues in tRNAs, and in some snRNAs and mRNAs. Although Pus1 is highly conserved, and mutations are associated with human disease, little is known about eukaryotic Pus1 biology. Here, we show that Schizosaccharomyces pombe pus1Δ mutants are temperature sensitive due to decay of tRNAIle(UAU), as tRNAIle(UAU) levels are reduced,...
