MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a member of the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. The encoded protein is a mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 4.

Nature of Mutation

DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified an A to G transition at base pair 95546073 in the Genbank genomic region NC_000079 for the Tars2 gene on chromosome 13 (CTGCCAACAG ->CTGCCAGCAG). Multiple transcripts of the Tars2 gene are displayed on Ensembl. The mutation is located within intron 1 from the ATG exon, four nucleotides to the next exon. The Tars2 gene contains 18 total exons using Genbank record NM_027931.3. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).

Protein Function and Prediction

The Tars2 gene encodes multiple isoforms of the mitochondrial threonyl-tRNA synthetase. Isoform 1 contains 723 residues.  TARS2 is a member of the class II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS) protein family.  Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the specific attachment of each of the 20 amino acids (aa) to a cognate transfer RNA (tRNA) (Uniprot Q3UQ84).
