| Accepted name: |
pseudouridylate synthase |
| Reaction: |
uracil + D-ribose 5-phosphate = pseudouridine 5′-phosphate + H2O |
| Other name(s): |
pseudouridylic acid synthetase; pseudouridine monophosphate synthetase; 5-ribosyluracil 5-phosphate synthetase; pseudouridylate synthetase; upsilonUMP synthetase; uracil hydro-lyase (adding D-ribose 5-phosphate); YeiN; pseudouridine-5′-phosphate glycosidase |
| Systematic name: |
uracil hydro-lyase (adding D-ribose 5-phosphate; pseudouridine-5′-phosphate-forming) |
| Comments: |
The reaction it readily reversible. While the enzymes from Tetrahymena pyriformis and Agrobacterium tumefaciens produce pseudouridine 5′-phosphate the enzyme from Escherichia coli functions as a pseudouridine-5′-phosphate glycosidase in vivo [5]. |
