PUS1
Description
The PUS1 gene encodes for the enzyme pseudouridine synthase 1 (PUS1), which plays a vital role in tRNA modification by converting uridine to pseudouridine. This modification is crucial for proper tRNA structure and function, impacting protein synthesis and cellular processes. PUS1 is highly conserved across species and its dysregulation has been linked to various diseases.
