Abstract excerpt
The housekeeping tRNA synthetases play many non-canonical roles with diverse functions. The phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PheRS/FARS) is an α 2 β 2 tetramere. Recently, human patients with mutations in FARSB , the homolog of β-PheRS in Drosophila, have been reported to display problems gaining weight. Here, we show in Drosophila that overexpressing the β subunit in the context of the complete PheRS leads to la...
