Symbol: mrs-1 Name: Methionyl tRNA Synthetase Entrez gene ID: 178089 Ensembl gene ID: F58B3.5 Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239) Functional description: Methionyl tRNA Synthetase; Protein MARS-1; Methionine--tRNA ligase, cytoplasmic [Source:UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot;Acc:Q20970] [Ensembl]; mrs-1 encodes a predicted cytoplasmic methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS), a class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that catalyzes the attachment of methionine to its cognate tRNA and is thus required for protein biosynthesis; MRS-1 is essential for embryogenesis and required also for a normal rate of postembryonic growth.
