In enzymology, a tRNA-pseudouridine synthase I (EC 5.4.99.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

tRNA uridine tRNA pseudouridine

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, , and one product, .

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular transferases transferring other groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is tRNA-uridine uracilmutase. Other names in common use include tRNA-uridine isomerase, tRNA pseudouridylate synthase I, transfer ribonucleate pseudouridine synthetase, pseudouridine synthase, and transfer RNA pseudouridine synthetase.

Structural studies[]

As of late 2007, 4 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1VS3, 2NQP, 2NR0, and 2NRE.
