Glycyl-TRNA Synthetase 1

GC07P030595
GIFtS:
36
This gene encodes glycyl-tRNA synthetase, one of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The encoded enzyme is an (alpha)2 dimer which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis. Two transcript variants encoding d... See more...

Entrez Gene Summary for GARS1 Gene

  • This gene encodes glycyl-tRNA synthetase, one of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The encoded enzyme is an (alpha)2 dimer which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

GeneCards Summary for GARS1 Gene

GARS1 (Glycyl-TRNA Synthetase 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with GARS1 include Neuronopathy, Distal Hereditary Motor, Type Va and Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, Axonal, Type 2D. Among its related pathways are tRNA Aminoacylation and Gene Expression. An important paralog of this gene is POLG2.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for GARS1 Gene

  • Catalyzes the ATP-dependent ligation of glycine to the 3'-end of its cognate tRNA, via the formation of an aminoacyl-adenylate intermediate (Gly-AMP) (PubMed:17544401, PubMed:28675565, PubMed:24898252). Also produces diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A), a universal pleiotropic signaling molecule needed for cell regulation pathways, by direct condensation of 2 ATPs. Thereby, may play a special role in Ap4A homeostasis (PubMed:19710017).

    Miscellaneous:
    • Human GlyRS uses direct ATP condensation to synthesize Ap4A, a unique amino acid-independent mechanism, in contrast to the classical amino acid-dependent mechanism for synthesis of Ap4A by a tRNA synthetase, that involves the generation of an enzyme-bound aminoacyl-AMP which is then attacked by ATP to form Ap4A.

GARS_HUMAN
  • Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2D (CMT2D) [MIM:601472]: A dominant axonal form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy, initially of the peroneal muscles and later of the distal muscles of the arms. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is classified in two main groups on the basis of electrophysiologic properties and histopathology: primary peripheral demyelinating neuropathies (designated CMT1 when they are dominantly inherited) and primary peripheral axonal neuropathies (CMT2). Neuropathies of the CMT2 group are characterized by signs of axonal degeneration in the absence of obvious myelin alterations, normal or slightly reduced nerve conduction velocities, and progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:12690580, ECO:0000269 PubMed:17035524, ECO:0000269 PubMed:17101916, ECO:0000269 PubMed:17663003, ECO:0000269 PubMed:20169446, ECO:0000269 PubMed:24604904, ECO:0000269 PubMed:25168514, ECO:0000269 PubMed:26244500, ECO:0000269 PubMed:26503042}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Contrary to the wild-type protein, CMT2D variants Gly-125 and Arg-294 strongly interact with NRP1. This interaction may compete out VEGFA binding and inhibits VEGFA-NRP1 signling which is essential for motor neuron survival, as suggested by experiments done in a mouse model. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:26503042}.
  • Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, 5A (HMN5A) [MIM:600794]: A disorder characterized by distal muscular atrophy mainly affecting the upper extremities, in contrast to other distal motor neuronopathies. These constitute a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular diseases caused by selective degeneration of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, without sensory deficit in the posterior horn. The overall clinical picture consists of a classical distal muscular atrophy syndrome in the legs without clinical sensory loss. The disease starts with weakness and wasting of distal muscles of the anterior tibial and peroneal compartments of the legs. Later on, weakness and atrophy may expand to the proximal muscles of the lower limbs and/or to the distal upper limbs. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:12690580, ECO:0000269 PubMed:17035524, ECO:0000269 PubMed:23279345, ECO:0000269 PubMed:24627108, ECO:0000269 PubMed:26503042}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Contrary to the wild-type protein, HMN5A variant Pro-183 strongly interacts with NRP1. This interaction may compete out VEGFA binding and inhibits VEGFA-NRP1 signling which is essential for motor neuron survival, as suggested by experiments done in a mouse model. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:26503042}.
