Abstract excerpt
Variants in the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes are linked to a wide range of human disorders marked by impaired mitochondrial function. Among these disorders, there is a growing number of patients with variants affecting mitochondrial RNA biology. Mitochondrial transcripts are pseudouridylated, and some enzymes responsible for this modification-pseudouridine synthases (PUS)-have been identified. Although known...
