Extracellular vesicles derived from macrophages display glycyl-tRNA synthetase 1 and exhibit anti-cancer activity.
Title: Extracellular vesicles derived from macrophages display glycyl-tRNA synthetase 1 and exhibit anti-cancer activity.
ignificant alterations of the vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B (VAPB) and its downstream pathways such as mitochondrial calcium uptake and autophagy were detected in dominant GARS mutations. The role of VAPB has been supported by similar results in the GarsC210R mice. Our data suggest that altered mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes (MAM) may be important disease mechanisms
Title: Mutations in glycyl-tRNA synthetase impair mitochondrial metabolism in neurons.
Gars mutations are associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D.
Title: Trk receptor signaling and sensory neuron fate are perturbed in human neuropathy caused by Gars mutations.
Results link the aberrant GlyRS-HDAC6 interaction to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D pathology and suggest HDAC6 as an effective therapeutic target.
Title: Aberrant GlyRS-HDAC6 interaction linked to axonal transport deficits in Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy.
findings link the selective pathology of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D to the neomorphic binding activity of GlyRS(CMT2D) that antagonizes the VEGF-Nrp1 interaction, meaning the VEGF-Nrp1 signalling axis is an actionable target for treating CMT2D
Title: CMT2D neuropathy is linked to the neomorphic binding activity of glycyl-tRNA synthetase.
These results suggest that this animal model of CMT using an adenovirus may provide information regarding CMT as well as a useful strategy for the treatment of neuropathic pain.
Title: Neuropathic pain model of peripheral neuropathies mediated by mutations of glycyl-tRNA synthetase.
Gars(C201R) mutation significantly delayed disease onset in the SOD1(G93A);Gars(C201R/+) double heterozygous mutant mice and increased lifespan by 29% on the genetic background investigated
Title: Mutant glycyl-tRNA synthetase (Gars) ameliorates SOD1(G93A) motor neuron degeneration phenotype but has little affect on Loa dynein heavy chain mutant mice.
a glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GARS) mutation causes peripheral sensory and motor phenotypes creating a model of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2D peripheral neuropathy
Title: An ENU-induced mutation in mouse glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GARS) causes peripheral sensory and motor phenotypes creating a model of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2D peripheral neuropathy.
Results indicate that Charcot-Marie-Tooth peripheral neuropathies, type 2D (CMT2D) phenotype is caused by novel pathogenic roles for the mutant GARS that specifically affect peripheral neurons.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
