tRNA pseudouridine synthase A is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PUS1 gene.[5][6]
![]() | This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Short description is incorrect (referring to the gene while the page itself is actually describing the enzyme); inconsistent (other articles actually name the enzyme class and mentions its role or homologues in other life forms, whereas this one seems to treat it like it's a vertebrate-specific thing).

PUS1 converts uridine into pseudouridine after the nucleotide has been incorporated into RNA. Pseudouridine may have a functional role in tRNAs and may assist in the peptidyl transfer reaction of rRNAs.[supplied by OMIM].[6] The mutations in PUS1 gene has been linked to mitochondrial myopathy and sideroblastic anemia.[7][8]
