Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionhars-1 encodes the sole histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HisRS), class II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that catalyze the attachment of histidine to its cognate tRNAs and are thus required for protein biosynthesis; in C. elegans, hars-1 is required for larval and germline development, and hence normal fertility; hars-1(RNAi) animals exhibit a reduced numbers of functional germ cells which is partially suppressed by ced-4 mutations, and a hars-1 loss-of-function mutation exhibits arrest at the L2 larval stage of development; mutations in human HARS2 cause Perrault syndrome, which is characterized by female ovarian dysgenesis and sensorineural hearing loss in both females and males.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005654

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable RNA binding activity; histidine-tRNA ligase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in germ cell development; nematode larval development; and translation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Used to study Perrault syndrome and sensory peripheral neuropathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal type 2W; Perrault syndrome; and Usher syndrome type 3B. Is an ortholog of human HARS1 (histidyl-tRNA synthetase 1) and HARS2 (histidyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceMutations in human aminoacyl-tRNA synthatases (ARS) are implicated in inherited peripheral neuropathies like Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMN) and hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN); variants in the human histidyl-tRNA synthetase gene (HARS) causes a late-onset sensory axonal neuropathy; mutations in human HARS2 are implicated in Perrault syndrome, characterized by hearing loss in males and abnormalities of the ovaries in affected females; when mutations similar to human HARS disease variants were introduced in C. elegans hars-1 via transgene expression in the worm, abnormal neuronal morphology was observed along with mobility defects, establishing C. elegans as a model system to study variant HARS-related neurotoxicities.Homo sapiensAccession_evidenceOMIM142810

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
