General description

Pseudouridine (Ψ) stands as an isomer of the nucleoside uridine, featuring a carbon-carbon bond instead of the typical nitrogen-carbon glycosidic bond connecting uracil. It represents the most prevalent among the myriad modified nucleosides within RNA, with a presence spanning various species and RNA classes. The enzymatic action of Ψ synthases induces post-transcriptional isomerization of specific uridine residues, a process known as pseudouridylation. This modification, particularly in rRNA and tRNA, plays a vital role in fine-tuning and stabilizing regional structures, contributing to mRNA decoding, ribosome assembly, processing, and translation functions. Moreover, β-pseudouridine, identified in tRNAs across bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes, has demonstrated potential in reducing radiation-induced chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes. Its utility as a cancer and proliferation biomarker positions it as a valuable asset in metabolomics and biochemical research.
Pseudouridine is a C-glycosyl pyrimidine that consists of uracil having a β-D-ribofuranosyl residue attached at position 5. The C-glycosyl isomer of the nucleoside uridine. It has a role as a fundamental metabolite. Pseudouridine is found in all species and in all classes of RNA except mRNA. It is formed by enzymes called pseudouridine synthases, which post-transcriptionally isomerize specific uridine residues in RNA.

RNA modifications can regulate the stability of RNAs, mRNA-protein interactions, and translation efficiency. Pseudouridine is a prevalent RNA modification, and its metabolic fate after RNA turnover was recently characterized in eukaryotes, in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we present structural

Let-7 is an evolutionary conserved microRNA that mediates post-transcriptional gene silencing to regulate a wide range of biological processes, including development, differentiation, and tumor suppression. Let-7 biogenesis is tightly regulated by several RNA-binding proteins, including Lin28A/B, which represses let-7 maturation.
