SGD DescriptionPseudouridine synthase; catalyzes pseudouridylation at positions 35 and 56 in U2 snRNA, position 50 in 5S rRNA, position 13 in cytoplasmic tRNAs, and position 35 in pre-tRNA(Tyr); also pseudouridylates some mRNAs; relocates from nucleus to cytoplasm during heat shock and differentially modifies some mRNAs during heat shock; conserved in archaea, vertebrates, and some bacteria
PomBase Descriptionpseudouridine synthase Pus7 (predicted)
AspGD DescriptionOrtholog(s) have pseudouridine synthase activity, role in enzyme-directed rRNA pseudouridine synthesis, mRNA pseudouridine synthesis, snRNA pseudouridine synthesis, tRNA pseudouridine synthesis and cytoplasm, nucleus localization
