Dyskerin is a pseudouridine synthase involved in fundamental cellular processes (including rRNA and snRNA modification and telomere stabilization), whose function is altered in X-linked dyskeratosis congenita and cancer. Dyskerin role in ribosome processing was suggested to underlie the alterations in mRNA translation described in cells lacking dyskerin function. We compared the protein contents of 5 replicates of ribosomal preparations from control or dyskerin-depleted human cells.
