CommentThis model represents a clade of sequences within the pseudouridine synthase superfamily (PF00849). The superfamily includes E. coli proteins: RluA, RluB, RluC, RluD, and RsuA. The sequences modeled here are most closely related to RluA [1]. Neisseria, among those species hitting this model, does not appear to have an RluA homolog. It is presumed that these sequences function as pseudouridine synthases, although perhaps with different specificity.
