The constitutional isomers uridine (U) and pseudouridine (Psi) cannot be distinguished from each other by simple mass measurements of RNA or its fragments because the conversion of U into Psi is a mass-silent post-transcriptional modification. Here we propose a new mass spectrometry based method for identification, localization, and relative quantitation of Psi in RNA consisting of similar to 20 nucleotides that does not require chemical labeling. Our approach takes advantage of the different fragmentation behavior of uridine (N-glycosidic bond) and pseudouridine (C-glycosidic bond) residues in RNA upon collisionally activated dissociation.
