additional information | gene deletion mutations are attempted via targeted gene replacement. The heterozygous mutants show slower growth kinetics and exhibited attenuated virulence. LdTyrRS chromosomal null mutants do not survive. Single allele of the LdTyrRS gene is replaced in heterozygous mutant parasites (TyrRS/HYG or TyrRS/NEO), leading to 1.8fold decreased expression of TyrRS protein in heterozygous mutants (TyrRS/HYG) | Leishmania donovani |

evolution | domain organization of TyrRS from eukaryotes and prokaryotes, overview | Leishmania donovani |
physiological function | aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are housekeeping enzymes essential for protein synthesis. Apart from their parent aminoacylation activity, several aaRSs perform non-canonical functions in diverse biological processes. Leishmania tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (LdTyrRS) performs aminoacylation and acts as a mimic of host CXC chemokine. Non-canonical function of Leishmania donovani tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase. The enzyme is essential. The released, extracellular LdTyrRS functions as a neutrophil chemoattractant. LdTyrRS specifically binds to host macrophages with its ELR (Glu-Leu-Arg) peptide motif. The ELR-CXCR2 receptor interaction mediates this binding. This interaction triggers enhanced secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and interleukin-6 by host macrophages. Possible immunomodulating role of LdTyrRS in Leishmania infection. Triggering of cytokine secretion by LdTyrRS, overview | Leishmania donovani |
