Abstract excerpt
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) are ubiquitously expressed enzymes that ligate amino acids onto tRNA molecules. Genes encoding ARSs have been implicated in phenotypically diverse dominant and recessive human diseases. The charging of tRNAPHE with phenylalanine is performed by a tetrameric enzyme that contains two alpha (FARSA) and two beta (FARSB) subunits. To date, mutations in the genes encoding these...
