Function
[TRUB_PYRFU] Could be responsible for synthesis of pseudouridine from uracil-55 in the psi GC loop of transfer RNAs (By similarity). [RL7A_PYRFU] Multifunctional RNA-binding protein that recognizes the K-turn motif in ribosomal RNA, box H/ACA, box C/D and box C'/D' sRNAs (By similarity). [NOP10_PYRFU] Involved in ribosome biogenesis; more specifically in 18S rRNA pseudouridylation and in cleavage of pre-rRNA (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMed
H/ACA RNAs form ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP) with proteins Cbf5, Nop10, L7Ae, and Gar1 and guide site-specific conversion of uridine into pseudouridine in cellular RNAs. The crystal structures of H/ACA RNP with substrate bound at the active site cleft reveal that the substrate is recruited through sequence-specific pairing with guide RNA and essential protein contacts. Substrate binding leads to a reorganization of a preset pseudouridylation pocket and an adaptive movement of the PUA domain and the lower stem of the H/ACA RNA. Moreover, a thumb loop flips from the Gar1-bound state in the substrate-free RNP structure to tightly associate with the substrate. Mutagenesis and enzyme kinetics analysis suggest a critical role of Gar1 and the thumb in substrate turnover, particularly in product release. Comparison with tRNA Psi55 synthase TruB reveals the structural conservation and adaptation between an RNA-guided and stand-alone pseudouridine synthase and provides insight into the guide-independent activity of Cbf5.
