Abstract excerpt
Human mitochondrial phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (hmtPheRS) requires partial unfolding for mitochondrial import and subsequent refolding to maintain proper functionality. Mutations in the FARS2 gene, encoding hmtPheRS, cause disorders such as early-onset epileptic encephalopathy and spastic paraplegia. This study was intended to investigate the impact of mutations on hmtPheRS refolding ability, stability, and...
