[[Pseudouridine]] is an abundant modified nucleotide found in RNA molecules. It is formed post-transcriptionally in RNA molecules by isomerization of the base of uridine. There are two major types of enzymes that catalyze this reaction:

[[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 Pseudoridine synthase]] -- 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 specify the site of modification through base-pairing with the target RNA molecule.
+
* [[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]] -- The alternative to using the RNA-guided mechanism for pseudouridine formation is a [[Guide-independent Pseudouridine synthase|guide-independent mechanism]] acting through stand-alone enzymes to catalyze formation.

* [[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.
