General annotation (Comments)

Catalytic activity

ATP + L-cysteine + tRNA(Cys) = AMP + diphosphate + L-cysteinyl-tRNA(Cys).

Cofactor

Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit By similarity.

Subunit structure

Monomer By similarity.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm.

Involvement in disease

A chromosomal aberration involving CARS is associated with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs). Translocation t(2;11)(p23;p15) with ALK.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAA73901.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 619.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: P49589-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: P49589-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     705-748: GLPTHDMEGKELSKGQAKKLKKLFEAQEKLYKEYLQMAQNGSFQ → VSMVCPHMTWRAKSSAKGKPRS
Note: Found in 20% of the mRNAs.
Isoform 3 (identifier: P49589-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     9-9: G → APDYRSILSI...KGQPCRLQAS
Note: Contains a phosphoserine at position 79.
