YARS1 Gene

Name tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 1
Description Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. Tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class I tRNA synthetase family. Cytokine activities have also been observed for the human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase, after it is split into two parts, an N-terminal fragment that harbors the catalytic site and a C-terminal fragment found only in the mammalian enzyme. The N-terminal fragment is an interleukin-8-like cytokine, whereas the released C-terminal fragment is an EMAP II-like cytokine. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nHuman tyrosyl‐tRNA synthetase (YARS1) is a quintessential enzyme of protein synthesis that catalyzes the attachment of tyrosine to its cognate tRNA. Detailed kinetic and structural studies have revealed that the human enzyme employs unique adaptations—such as a potassium‐dependent reaction that functionally compensates for a missing lysine in the canonical KMSKS motif, critical serine residues that stabilize the transition state, and dynamic interdomain interactions that modulate its folding and dimerization. Notably, sophisticated engineering approaches have also been applied to improve the efficiency of YARS1‐derived synthetases, and molecular dynamics simulations of both wild‐type and disease‐associated mutants have provided insights into conformational changes that alter its catalytic core."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "6"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond its canonical role in translation, YARS1 exhibits a remarkable capacity for “moonlighting” in non‐canonical signaling pathways. Proteolytic or splicing‐generated fragments of YARS1, such as mini–tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase, display potent cytokine‐like activities that can promote angiogenesis or, in contrast, mediate anti-angiogenic effects when paired with related enzyme fragments. Moreover, YARS1 undergoes regulated nuclear translocation—controlled in part by its binding to cognate tRNA and modulated by posttranslational modifications like acetylation—which facilitates the activation of transcription factors and upregulation of DNA repair genes under oxidative stress. In addition, YARS1 is implicated in neuromodulation through the synthesis of kyotorphin and acts as an extracellular proinflammatory mediator by engaging Toll-like receptors, thereby linking aminoacylation to diverse cell-signaling events."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "7", "end_ref": "17"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nMutations in YARS1 have been implicated in a spectrum of human diseases—from dominant peripheral neuropathies such as Charcot–Marie–Tooth (CMT) disease to recessive, multisystem disorders characterized by developmental delay, liver dysfunction, and other organ system defects. In various model systems, mutant forms of YARS1 have been shown to alter translational output and trigger toxic gain-of-function activities, including aberrant actin bundling and misinteraction with other cellular proteins, while altered splicing can yield variants with distinct tissue distributions. Furthermore, dysregulation of YARS1 activity has been linked not only to neurodegeneration but also to disturbances in hematopoiesis and even to oncogenic processes in tissues such as the gastric epithelium. Collectively, these findings underscore that perturbations in both its canonical and non‐canonical functions contribute to the diverse pathophysiological manifestations associated with YARS1."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "18", "end_ref": "32"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Richard B Cooley, Jessica L Feldman, Camden M Driggers, et al.
