Transfer RNA and small molecule therapeutics for aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase diseases.

Abstract excerpt

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the ligation of a specific amino acid to its cognate tRNA. The resulting aminoacyl-tRNAs are indispensable intermediates in protein biosynthesis, facilitating the precise decoding of the genetic code. Pathogenic alleles in the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases can lead to several dominant and recessive disorders. To date, disease-specific treatments for these conditions are largely...
