Bifunctional aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the EPRS gene.[5][6]

Gene

[edit]

Alternative splicing has been observed for this gene, but the full-length nature and biological validity of the variant have not been determined.[6]

Function

[edit]

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The protein encoded by this gene is a multifunctional aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that catalyzes the aminoacylation of glutamic acid and proline tRNA species.[6]

Phosphorylation of EPRS is reported to be essential for the formation of GAIT (Gamma-interferon Activated Inhibitor of Translation) complex that regulates the translation of multiple genes in monocytes and macrophages.[7]

Interactions

[edit]

EPRS has been shown to interact with POU2F1,[8] Heat shock protein 90kDa alpha (cytosolic), member A1[9] and IARS.[10]
