| + | [[Pseudouridine]] is an abundant modified nucleoside found in RNA molecules. It is formed post-transcriptionally in RNA molecules by isomerization of the bond between base and ribose in uridine. There are two major types of enzymes that catalyze this reaction: | ||
| - | + | * [[RNA-guided pseudouridine synthase]] -- Some ribonucleoproteins (complexes of proteins and small RNAs) have been identified in archaea and eukaryotes to catalyze these reactions. The small RNA in the complex serves as a guide element to select the site of modification through base-pairing with the target RNA molecule. | |

| - | + | * [[Guide-independent Pseudouridine synthase|Guide-independent pseudouridine synthase]] -- The alternative to using the RNA-guided mechanism for pseudouridine formation is a [[Guide-independent Pseudouridine synthase|guide-independent mechanism]] acting through protein-only enzymes to catalyze the isomerization. | |
