Summary
NARS1 (asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase 1, HGNC:7643) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 18q21.31, encoding Asparagine–tRNA ligase, cytoplasmic (O43776). Catalyzes the attachment of asparagine to tRNA(Asn) in a two-step reaction: asparagine is first activated by ATP to form Asn-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Asn). It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.9% of cancer cell lines).
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. Asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase is localized to the cytoplasm and belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. The N-terminal domain represents the signature sequence for the eukaryotic asparaginyl-tRNA synthetases.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 3)
- Study shows that ERO1L and NARS expression level are up-regulated in primary lung adenocarcinoma and identifies them with a potential to promote tumor metastasis and growth of cancer cells. (PMID:27161446)
- The chemokine activity of UNE-N was significantly reduced by suppressing CCR3 expression with CCR3-targeting siRNA, and the loop3 region of UNE-N was shown to interact mainly with the extracellular domains of CCR3 in nuclear magnetic resonance perturbation experiments. Based on these results, evolutionarily acquired UNE-N elicits chemokine activities that would promote NRS-CCR3-mediated proinflammatory signaling in ILD. (PMID:30171954)
- Loss of NARS1 impairs progenitor proliferation in cortical brain organoids and leads to microcephaly. (PMID:32788587)

Function. Catalyzes the attachment of asparagine to tRNA(Asn) in a two-step reaction: asparagine is first activated by ATP to form Asn-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Asn). In addition to its essential role in protein synthesis, acts as a signaling molecule that induced migration of CCR3-expressing cells. Has an essential role in the development of the cerebral cortex, being required for proper proliferation of radial glial cells.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm.
Disease relevance. Neurodevelopmental disorder with microcephaly, impaired language, and gait abnormalities (NEDMILG) [MIM:619091] An autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay apparent in infancy, moderate to profound intellectual disability, poor or absent speech and language, delayed walking with variable gait abnormalities, and progressive microcephaly. Additional variable features include hypotonia, early-onset seizures, and a peripheral demyelinating or axonal peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Neurodevelopmental disorder with microcephaly, impaired language, epilepsy, and gait abnormalities (NEDMILEG) [MIM:619092] An autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay apparent in infancy, delayed walking, ataxia, spasticity, impaired intellectual development with poor or absent speech and language, progressive microcephaly, and early-onset seizures in most patients. Facial dysmorphism and a demyelinating peripheral neuropathy may also be observed. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The N-terminal domain (1-77) recruits and activates specific immune cells by interacting with CCR3-expressing cells.
Miscellaneous. Autoantibodies to NARS1, are often detected in sera from patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD).
Similarity. Belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.
