UniProt functional annotation for P23381

UniProt code: P23381.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Isoform 1, isoform 2 and T1-TrpRS have aminoacylation activity while T2-TrpRS lacks it. Isoform 2, T1-TrpRS and T2-TrpRS possess angiostatic activity whereas isoform 1 lacks it. T2-TrpRS inhibits fluid shear stress-activated responses of endothelial cells. Regulates ERK, Akt, and eNOS activation pathways that are associated with angiogenesis, cytoskeletal reorganization and shear stress- responsive gene expression. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11773625, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11773626, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1373391, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14630953, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28369220}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + L-tryptophan + tRNA(Trp) = AMP + diphosphate + H(+) + L- tryptophanyl-tRNA(Trp); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24080, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9671, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9705, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:57912, ChEBI:CHEBI:78442, ChEBI:CHEBI:78535, ChEBI:CHEBI:456215; EC=6.1.1.2; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:1761529, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28369220};
Subunit: Homodimer (PubMed:28369220). Isoform 1 and isoform 2 interact with an oxidized form of GAPDH. GAPDH stimulates the aminoacylation activity of isoform 2 (PubMed:15628863). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15628863, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28369220}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm.
Induction: By IFNG/IFN-gamma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8496617}.
Ptm: Proteolytic cleavage generates 2 forms; T1-TrpRS and T2-TrpRS. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11773626}.
Disease: Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, 9 (HMN9) [MIM:617721]: An autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by juvenile onset of slowly progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy affecting both the lower and upper limbs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28369220}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity: Belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. {ECO:0000305}.
