Histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HARS) also known as histidine-tRNA ligase, is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the HARS gene.^[1]^[2]

Function[edit | edit source]

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic enzyme which belongs to the class II family of aminoacyl tRNA synthetases. The enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of histidyl-transfer RNA, which is essential for the incorporation of histidine into proteins.^[3] The gene is located in a head-to-head orientation with HARSL on chromosome five, where the homologous genes share a bidirectional promoter.^[1]

Clinical significance[edit | edit source]

The gene product is a frequent target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune disease polymyositis/dermatomyositis.^[3]

Interactions[edit | edit source]

HARS has been shown to interact with EEF1B2^[4] and EEF1G.^[4]
