Abstract excerpt
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) are essential, ubiquitously expressed enzymes that ligate amino acids to cognate tRNAs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. To date, seven dimeric ARS enzymes have been implicated in dominant inherited neuropathy, suggesting that tRNA charging-exacerbated by a dominant-negative effect-is a component of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) phenotype. Interestingly, heterozygosity for...
