Pseudouridine
RNA is an important molecule in the human body, which can analyze genetic information in human cells. Many RNAs in nature have undergone post-transcriptional modifications. Post-transcriptional modification plays an important role in the structure, function and metabolism of RNA. Pseudouridine is the first and most abundant RNA modification to be discovered and is called the "fifth" nucleoside. Pseudouridine modification is catalyzed by pseudouridine synthase, and is commonly found on non-coding RNAs with high abundance in cells such as tRNA, rRNA, and snRNA, and has recently been found to be present on mRNA.
Pseudouridine is the 5-position isomer of uridine, which has different characteristics from other bases and can stabilize many RNA structures. Pseudouridine modification can regulate the RNA function of specific RNA species. For example, pseudouridine in rRNA can affect the folding of rRNA, the function of ribosomes, and maintain the structure of rRNA. Pseudouridine in snRNA plays an important role in snRNP formation, spliceosome assembly and pre-mRNA. Pseudouridine in tRNA can affect the local structure of the domain where it is distributed, thereby affecting decoding activity, improving the accuracy of translation, and helping to maintain a proper reading frame. Pseudouridine in mRNA can affect mRNA splicing, stability and translation rate.
Pseudouridine derivatives
In addition to the most common pseudouridine, pseudouridine derivatives also play an important role in biological processes. Similar to pseudouridine, pseudouridine derivatives can also replace uridine in RNA for RNA modification. For example, N1-methylpseudouridine, a methylpseudouridine, can enhance the stability of RNA in biological applications such as gene silencing. N1-methylpseudouridine in mRNA enhances the translation efficiency of mRNA by increasing the density of ribosomes. N1-methylpseudouridine-modified mRNA can enhance protein expression and reduce the immunogenicity of mRNA, and it has a superior effect than the mRNA incorporated with pseudouridine.
