5.4.99.23

Accepted name:

23S rRNA pseudouridine^{1911/1915/1917} synthase

Reaction:

23S rRNA uridine¹⁹¹¹/uridine¹⁹¹⁵/uridine¹⁹¹⁷ = 23S rRNA pseudouridine¹⁹¹¹/pseudouridine¹⁹¹⁵/pseudouridine¹⁹¹⁷

Other name(s):

RluD; pseudouridine synthase RluD

Systematic name:

23S rRNA-uridine^{1911/1915/1917} uracil mutase

Comments:

Pseudouridine synthase RluD converts uridines at positions 1911, 1915, and 1917 of 23S rRNA to pseudouridines. These nucleotides are located in the functionally important helix-loop 69 of 23S rRNA [1].
