Summary
AARS1 (alanyl-tRNA synthetase 1, HGNC:20) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16q22.1, encoding Alanine–tRNA ligase, cytoplasmic (P49588). Catalyzes the attachment of alanine to tRNA(Ala) in a two-step reaction: alanine is first activated by ATP to form Ala-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Ala). It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 100.0% of cancer cell lines).
The human alanyl-tRNA synthetase (AARS) belongs to a family of tRNA synthases, of the class II enzymes. Class II tRNA synthases evolved early in evolution and are highly conserved. This is reflected by the fact that 498 of the 968-residue polypeptide human AARS shares 41% identity witht the E.coli protein. tRNA synthases are the enzymes that interpret the RNA code and attach specific aminoacids to the tRNAs that contain the cognate trinucleotide anticodons. They consist of a catalytic domain which interacts with the amino acid acceptor-T psi C helix of the tRNA, and a second domain which interacts with the rest of the tRNA structure.

Function. Catalyzes the attachment of alanine to tRNA(Ala) in a two-step reaction: alanine is first activated by ATP to form Ala-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Ala). Also edits incorrectly charged tRNA(Ala) via its editing domain. In presence of high levels of lactate, also acts as a protein lactyltransferase that mediates lactylation of lysine residues in target proteins, such as TEAD1, TP53/p53 and YAP1. Protein lactylation takes place in a two-step reaction: lactate is first activated by ATP to form lactate-AMP and then transferred to lysine residues of target proteins. Acts as an inhibitor of TP53/p53 activity by catalyzing lactylation of TP53/p53. Acts as a positive regulator of the Hippo pathway by mediating lactylation of TEAD1 and YAP1.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer. Interacts with ANKRD16; the interaction is direct.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Post-translational modifications. ISGylated. Methylation at ‘Lys-943’ by METTL21C.
Disease relevance. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, type 2N (CMT2N) [MIM:613287] An axonal form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy, initially of the peroneal muscles and later of the distal muscles of the arms. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is classified in two main groups on the basis of electrophysiologic properties and histopathology: primary peripheral demyelinating neuropathies (designated CMT1 when they are dominantly inherited) and primary peripheral axonal neuropathies (CMT2). Neuropathies of the CMT2 group are characterized by signs of axonal degeneration in the absence of obvious myelin alterations, normal or slightly reduced nerve conduction velocities, and progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 29 (DEE29) [MIM:616339] A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe early-onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. DEE29 patients manifest severe infantile epileptic encephalopathy, clubfoot, absent deep tendon reflexes, extrapyramidal symptoms, and persistently deficient myelination. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Leukoencephalopathy, hereditary diffuse, with spheroids 2 (HDLS2) [MIM:619661] An autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive and executive dysfunction, psychiatric disturbances, and neurologic symptoms, such as gait abnormalities, paresis, seizures, and rigidity. Symptom onset is usually in adulthood, although earlier onset has been reported. Some patients have an acute encephalopathic course with severe neurologic decline resulting in early death, whereas other patients have a more protracted and chronic disease course. Neuropathologic examination shows a leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and myelination defects. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Trichothiodystrophy 8, non-photosensitive (TTD8) [MIM:619691] A form of trichothiodystrophy, a disease characterized by sulfur-deficient brittle hair and multisystem variable abnormalities. The spectrum of clinical features varies from mild disease with only hair involvement to severe disease with cutaneous, neurologic and profound developmental defects. Ichthyosis, intellectual and developmental disabilities, decreased fertility, abnormal characteristics at birth, ocular abnormalities, short stature, and infections are common manifestations. There are both photosensitive and non-photosensitive forms of the disorder. TTD8 is an autosomal recessive, non-photosensitive form characterized by brittle hair and nails, scaly skin, accompanied by failure to thrive, microcephaly, and neuromotor developmental delay. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. The protein lactyltransferase activity is inhibited by beta-alanine.
Cofactor. Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.
Domain organisation. Consists of three domains; the N-terminal catalytic domain, the editing domain and the C-terminal C-Ala domain. The editing domain removes incorrectly charged amino acids, while the C-Ala domain, along with tRNA(Ala), serves as a bridge to cooperatively bring together the editing and aminoacylation centers thus stimulating deacylation of misacylated tRNAs. The C-terminal C-Ala domain (residues 756 to 968) is not required for catalytic activity and can bind DNA (in vitro). The C-terminal C-Ala domain (residues 756 to 968), along with tRNA(Ala), serves as a bridge to cooperatively bring together the editing and aminoacylation centers thus stimulating deacylation of misacylated tRNAs. The human domain can be used in vitro to replace the corresponding domain in E.coli.
Similarity. Belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 96 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
