Metabolite Identification
Common NamePseudouridine
DescriptionBeta-Pseudouridine, also known as p or 5-ribosyluracil, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as nucleoside and nucleotide analogues. These are analogues of nucleosides and nucleotides. These include phosphonated nucleosides, C-glycosylated nucleoside bases, analogues where the sugar unit is a pyranose, and carbocyclic nucleosides, among others. Beta-Pseudouridine is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Beta-Pseudouridine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.

Gene Name:
PUSL1
Uniprot ID:
A6QP68
Molecular weight:
34022.0
General function:
Involved in pseudouridine synthase activity
Specific function:
Pseudouridylate synthase that catalyzes pseudouridylation of RNAs. Acts as a regulator of protein synthesis in embryonic stem cells by mediating pseudouridylation of RNA fragments derived from tRNAs (tRFs): pseudouridylated tRFs inhibit translation by targeting the translation initiation complex. Also catalyzes pseudouridylation of mRNAs: mediates pseudouridylation of mRNAs with the consensus sequence 5'-UGUAG-3'. In addition to mRNAs and tRNAs, binds other types of RNAs, such as snRNAs, Y RNAs and vault RNAs, suggesting that it can catalyze pseudouridylation of many RNA types.
