Mechanistic insight into the pseudouridylation of RNA

Abstract excerpt

Pseudouridylation (Ψ) is a highly abundant and conserved RNA modification that is present in all three domains of life. The incorporation of Ψ can affect the stability of RNAs, modulate their interaction patterns, and regulate many other aspects of RNA biology. Ψ are introduced by a structurally highly related enzyme family, called pseudouridine synthases (PUS). Each PUS enzyme targets distinct RNA substrates and...
