Description | KARS: lysyl-tRNA synthetase. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. Lysyl-tRNA synthetase is a homodimer localized to the cytoplasm which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis. |

Function | Catalyzes the specific attachment of an amino acid to its cognate tRNA in a 2 step reaction: the amino acid (AA) is first activated by ATP to form AA-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of the tRNA (PubMed:18029264, PubMed:18272479, PubMed:9278442). When secreted, acts as a signaling molecule that induces immune response through the activation of monocyte/macrophages (PubMed:15851690). Catalyzes the synthesis of the signaling molecule diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A), and thereby mediates disruption of the complex between HINT1 and MITF and the concomitant activation of MITF transcriptional activity (PubMed:14975237, PubMed:19524539, PubMed:23159739, PubMed:5338216). |
Cellular Location | [Isoform Cytoplasmic]: Cytoplasm, cytosol. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Secreted Note=Secretion is induced by TNF-alpha (PubMed:15851690). Cytosolic in quiescent mast cells. Translocates into the nucleus in response to mast cell activation by immunoglobulin E (PubMed:23159739) |
