Set | PseudoU_synth |
Description
This group is comprised of bacterial and eukaryotic proteins similar to E. coli RluB. Pseudouridine synthases catalyze the isomerization of specific uridines in an RNA molecule to pseudouridines (5-ribosyluracil, psi). No cofactors are required. E.coli RluB makes psi2605 in 23S RNA. psi2605 has been detected in eubacteria but, not in eukarya and archea despite the presence of a precursor U at that site.
