Secreted Threonyl-tRNA synthetase stimulates endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis
21 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases classically regulate protein synthesis but some also engage in alternative signaling functions related to immune responses and angiogenesis. Threonyl-tRNA synthetase (TARS) is an autoantigen in the autoimmune disorder myositis, and borrelidin, a potent inhibitor of TARS, inhibits angiogenesis. We explored a mechanistic link between these findings by testing whether TARS directly affects...
