Figure Lengend Snippet: TyrRS mutations induce structural changes leading to aberrant transcription regulation. a Domain structure of human TyrRS and the location of the different mutations. Red indicates CMT-causing mutations, blue indicates the cytokine-activating Y341A mutation, and orange indicates the benign substitution K265N. b Schematic illustration of the conformational changes induced by the different mutations in TyrRS. c, d Interaction of TyrRS with TRIM28 ( c ) and HDAC1 ( d ) detected by Co-IP in HEK293T cells expressing different TyrRS proteins. e Immunoprecipitation of TRIM28 and the associated binding of E2F1 to the regulatory complex upon expression of different TyrRS alleles. f Acetylation levels of E2F1 after IP in HEK293T cells expressing TyrRS. One-way ANOVA with Dunnett Multiple Comparisons test. g , h Expression of E2F1 target genes ( BRCA1, RAD51, RAD51L1 , and RAD9A ) in HEK293T cells expressing different TyrRS alleles ( g ), and patient-derived and control PBMCs ( h ). G41R ( n = 3 individuals), E196K ( n = 2 individuals), and control ( n = 5 individuals). n = 3 independent biological replicates, unpaired t -test. Bar charts are presented as means ± s.e.m.
