Gene

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

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

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

gollark: Some questions, then:- what form are they taking tax in- how big are the communities- where are things produced- how is production of things coordinated if it can't be done entirely by one community
gollark: Okay.
gollark: (And might make things worse, since you can't trade between communities as easily)
gollark: That doesn't address anything else I said.
gollark: Ah yes, indirectly then. Swap that for "in useful quantities" or "without expending tons of time/resources" if you like.
