Leucyl-tRNA synthetase, cytoplasmic is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the LARS gene.[5][6]

Function

[edit]

This gene encodes a cytosolic leucine-tRNA synthetase, a member of the class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the ATP-dependent ligation of L-leucine to tRNA(Leu). It is found in the cytoplasm as part of a multisynthetase complex and interacts with the arginyl-tRNA synthetase through its C-terminal domain. Alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been found; however, their full-length nature is not known.[6]

Interactions

[edit]

Leucyl-tRNA synthetase has been shown to interact with EEF1G.[7]

Inhibitors
