Also known as GlyRSDSMAVSMAD1
Summary
GARS1 (glycyl-tRNA synthetase 1, HGNC:4162) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7p14.3, encoding Glycine–tRNA ligase (P41250). Catalyzes the ATP-dependent ligation of glycine to the 3’-end of its cognate tRNA, via the formation of an aminoacyl-adenylate intermediate (Gly-AMP). It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 98.8% of cancer cell lines).
This gene encodes glycyl-tRNA synthetase, one of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The encoded enzyme is an (alpha)2 dimer 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. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Catalyzes the ATP-dependent ligation of glycine to the 3’-end of its cognate tRNA, via the formation of an aminoacyl-adenylate intermediate (Gly-AMP). Also produces diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A), a universal pleiotropic signaling molecule needed for cell regulation pathways, by direct condensation of 2 ATPs. Thereby, may play a special role in Ap4A homeostasis.

Disease relevance. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, type 2D (CMT2D) [MIM:601472] A dominant 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. Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, autosomal dominant 5 (HMND5) [MIM:600794] A form of distal hereditary motor neuronopathy, a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders caused by selective degeneration of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, without sensory deficit in the posterior horn. The overall clinical picture consists of a classical distal muscular atrophy syndrome in the legs without clinical sensory loss. The disease starts with weakness and wasting of distal muscles of the anterior tibial and peroneal compartments of the legs. Later on, weakness and atrophy may expand to the proximal muscles of the lower limbs and/or to the distal upper limbs. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Spinal muscular atrophy, infantile, James type (SMAJI) [MIM:619042] An autosomal dominant form of spinal muscular atrophy, a group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, leading to symmetrical muscle weakness and atrophy. SMAJI is a severe disease characterized by hypotonia manifesting in the first weeks or months of life, delayed motor development, motor regression, and muscle weakness and atrophy primarily affecting distal muscles. Additional variable features include feeding difficulties, poor overall growth, foot deformities, kyphosis, hyperlordosis, scoliosis, vocal cord dysfunction, and respiratory insufficiency. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Ap4A synthesis is inhibited by tRNA, via the disruption of the second ATP-binding site by direct blocking and/or by tRNA-induced conformational change.
Miscellaneous. Human GlyRS uses direct ATP condensation to synthesize Ap4A, a unique amino acid-independent mechanism, in contrast to the classical amino acid-dependent mechanism for synthesis of Ap4A by a tRNA synthetase, that involves the generation of an enzyme-bound aminoacyl-AMP which is then attacked by ATP to form Ap4A. The isoform 2 translation is regulated by an Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES) and an upstream Open Reading Frame. Both are important in hindering the synthesis of the mitochondrial GARS and target the translation of the cytosolic enzyme to ER-bound ribosomes.
Similarity. Belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.

Molecules with ChEMBL bioactivity
1 molecules (phase ≥1), by development phase (incl. off-target/promiscuous compounds). Patent mentions across the top 20 by phase: 2,167 (via chembl_molecule»patent_compound — counts attach to the compound, not the gene–compound relationship, so off-target/promiscuous molecules can dominate).
