(Submitter supplied) Pseudouridine (Ψ) is an abundant post-transcriptional RNA modification in ncRNA and mRNA. However, transcriptome-wide measurement of individual Ψ sites remains unaddressed. Here, we develop “PRAISE”, via selective chemical labeling of Ψ by bisulfite to induce nucleotide deletion signature during reverse transcription, to realize quantitative assessment of the Ψ landscape in the human transcriptome. Unlike traditional RNA/DNA bisulfite treatment, our approach is based on quaternary base mapping and identifies 2,209 confident Ψ sites in HEK293T cells. By perturbing pseudouridine synthases, we obtained differential mRNA targets of PUS1, PUS7, TRUB1 and DKC1. In addition, we identified known and novel Ψ sites in mitochondrial mRNA, which are catalyzed by a mitochondria-localized isoform of PUS1. Collectively, we provide a reliable, sensitive and convenient method to quantify transcriptome-wide Ψ; we envision this approach would facilitate emerging efforts to elucidate the function and mechanism of mRNA pseudouridylation.
