5.4.99.12

Accepted name:

tRNA pseudouridine^38-40 synthase

Reaction:

tRNA uridine^38-40 = tRNA pseudouridine^38-40

Other name(s):

TruA; tRNA pseudouridine synthase I; PSUI; hisT (gene name)

Systematic name:

tRNA-uridine^38-40 uracil mutase

Comments:

The uridylate residues at positions 38, 39 and 40 of nearly all tRNAs are isomerized to pseudouridine. TruA specifically modifies uridines at positions 38, 39, and/or 40 in the anticodon stem loop of tRNAs with highly divergent sequences and structures [1].
