Abstract excerpt
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) canonical function is to conjugate specific amino acids to cognate tRNA that are required for the first step of protein synthesis. Genetic mutations that cause dysfunction or absence of ARSs result in various neurodevelopmental disorders. The human phenylalanine-tRNA synthetase (PheRS) is a tetrameric protein made of two subunits coded by FARSA gene and two subunits coded by...
