Summary
This gene belongs to the class II amino-acyl tRNA family. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the transfer of L-serine to tRNA (Ser) and is related to bacterial and yeast counterparts. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described but the biological validity of all variants is unknown. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

  6. Analyzed the ability of cytosolic SerRS to bind and act on tRNA(Ser), tRNA(Sec), and 10 mutant and chimeric constructs in which elements of tRNA(Ser) were transposed onto tRNA(Sec). We show that SerRS only subtly prefers tRNA(Ser) to tRNA(Sec), and that discrimination occurs at the level of the serylation reaction.

  7. Yin Yang 1 (YY1) interacts with Seryl-tRNA synthetase (SerRS) to form a SerRS/YY1 complex which functions as a negative effector to regulate vegfa transcription through binding a distal segment of the vegfa promoter, while NFKB1 serves as a positive effector through outcompeting SerRS/YY1 for binding at the same distal segment.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
