Abstract excerpt
Aminoacylation has been implicated in a wide variety of cancers. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) exist in large excess in tumor cells due to their increased demand for translation, whereas most other protein-synthesis apparatuses are quantitatively limited. Among other components that constitute the translation machinery-namely, tRNA, amino acid, ATP, and ARS-ARS is the only target that can be blocked by small...
