A humanized yeast model reveals dominant-negative properties of neuropathy-associated alanyl-tRNA synthetase mutations

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) are ubiquitously expressed, essential enzymes that ligate tRNA molecules to their cognate amino acids. Heterozygosity for missense variants or small in-frame deletions in five ARS genes causes axonal peripheral neuropathy, a disorder characterized by impaired neuronal function in the distal extremities. These variants reduce enzyme activity without significantly...
