EC 5.4.99.12 Details
EC number
5.4.99.12
Accepted name
tRNA pseudouridine38-40 synthase
Reaction
tRNA uridine38-40 = tRNA pseudouridine38-40
Other name(s)
TruA, tRNA pseudouridine synthase I, PSUI, hisT (gene name)
Systematic name
tRNA-uridine38-40 uracil mutase
CAS registry number
61506-89-6
Comment
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].
