RNA-guided pseudouridine synthase

Function

H/ACA ribonucleoproteins that use RNAs to guide pseudouridine formation.

Beyond synthases

Interestingly, there are clearly-related complexes do not seem to guide pseudouridine formation. Similar complexes with the same proteins and similar RNAs are also known to be involved in cleavage of rRNA or stabilizing the ends of non-coding RNAs. Although they share even the same catalytic protein, the do not some to catalyze the reaction as with other substrates.
