Interactions of transfer RNA pseudouridine synthases with RNAs substituted with fluorouracil
We have previously purified and characterized two different S. cerevisiae enzymes that produce pseudouridine specifically in nucleotide positions 13 and 55, respectively, in their tRNA substrates. The interactions of these enzymes with fluorinated tRNAs have now been studied.

Pseudouridine-Free Escherichia coli Ribosomes
Pseudouridine (Ψ) is present at conserved, functionally important regions in the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) from all three domains of life. Little, however, is known about the functions of Ψ modifications in bacterial ribosomes.

HSP90/PUS7/THUMPD1 promotes metastasis and cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer cells
The metastasis and chemotherapy resistance of gastric cancer significantly contribute to treatment failure and mortality. Based on previous studies, we hypothesized that Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) interacts with and upregulates Pseudouridine Synthase ...

Cloning and characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana AtNAP57 - a homologue of yeast pseudouridine synthase Cbf5p. [PDF]
Rat Nap57 and its yeast homologue Cbf5p are pseudouridine synthases involved in rRNA biogenesis, localized in the nucleolus. These proteins, together with H/ACA class of snoRNAs compose snoRNP particles, in which snoRNA guides the synthase to direct site-
