Pus1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables chromatin binding activity; tRNA pseudouridine synthase activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in tRNA pseudouridine synthesis. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleolus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is active in nucleus. Used to study myopathy, lactic acidosis, and sideroblastic anemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myopathy, lactic acidosis, and sideroblastic anemia 1. Orthologous to human PUS1 (pseudouridine synthase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Pus1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
