Pus1p modifies uridines at positions 1, 26, 27, 28, 30, 34, 36, 65, and 67 depending on the source of the enzyme (Saccharomyces cerevisiae or mouse), the substrates (intron-containing or not), or whether the activity is monitored in vivo or in vitro. Out of all the positions that Pus1p modifies, the modification of uridines at positions 27 and 28 is by far the most common in tRNAs, with pseudouridine infrequently found at the other positions that the Pus1p enzymes recognize

Mitochondrial myopathy and sideroblastic anemia (MLASA): missense mutation in the pseudouridine synthase 1 (PUS1) gene is associated with the loss of tRNA pseudouridylation.
Pseudouridine synthase 1 deficient mice, a model for Mitochondrial Myopathy with Sideroblastic Anemia, exhibit muscle morphology and physiology alterations.

missense mutation in PUS1 causes mitochondrial myopathy and sideroblastic anemia (a rare, autosomal recessive oxidative phosphorylation disorder specific to skeletal muscle and bone marrow)
eukaryal Pus10 genes share a conserved catalytic domain with archaeal Pus10 genes. Pus10 is found in earlier evolutionary branches of fungi (such as chytrid Batrachochytrium) but is absent in all dikaryon fungi surveyed (Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes). Orthologs of Pus10, TrmA, and TruB are present in all the animals, plants, and protozoa surveyed. This indicates that the common eukaryotic ancestor possesses all the three genes. Pus10 exists as a single copy gene in all the surveyed genomes despite ancestral whole genome duplications has occurred. This indicates a possible deleterious gene dosage effect. Functional redundancy results in gene loss or neofunctionalization in different evolutionary lineages
depletion of RPUSD4 leads to a severe reduction of the steady-state level of the 16S mitochondrial rRNA with defects in the biogenesis of the mitoribosome large subunit and consequently in mitochondrial translation
pseudouridine synthase RPUSD4 is an essential component of mitochondrial RNA granules. Several steps of mitochondrial RNA processing and maturation, including RNA post-transcriptional modification, are spatially organized into mitochondrial RNA granules
the hPus1p enzyme binds to its RNA substrate as a monomer. The C-terminal end of hPus1p folds into two alpha-helices and these helices pack against the back of the hPus1p molecule, which prevents the dimerization observed in the bacterial homologue, TruA. This C-terminal region is responsible for the atypical RNA substrate binding and activity of hPus1p. Enzyme crystal structure analysis, overview
