Figure 4. Noncanonical functions of ARSs in regulating cell functions.

Figure 4

Recent discoveries of noncanonical functions of human ARSs and their underlying mechanisms. IFN-γ-induced release of EPRS from the MSC and assembly of the GAIT complex that mediates translational silencing of inflammation-related mRNAs. UV-triggered phosphorylation of MARS inhibits global translation and activates tumour suppressor MSC p18. SARS directs transcriptional repression of VEGFA during vertebrate vascular development. WARS mediates crosstalk between IFN-γ and p53 signalling pathway to activate p53. LARS acts as a leucine sensor in mTORC1 signalling to regulate cell size and autophagy. Laminin-stimulated membrane localization of KARS promotes cell migration. Human macrophages secret GARS to suppress tumour growth. See details in the text.
