However, heterozygosity for any Gars lossoffunction allele in mice or even a TyrRS null allele in flies did not induce peripheral neuropathy phenotypes [, ]. Filly, overexpression of mutant human GlyRS in Drosophila induced peripheral neuropathy phenotypes, without the need of reduction of tRGly aminoacylation activity and without having altering the in vivo ratio of aminoacylated order CCG215022 versus nonaminoacylated tRGly. Taken with each other, this leaves us with two doable scerios: (i) all CMTaaRS mutations lead to the acquisition of a novel, toxic home that underlies peripheral neuropathy; or (ii) some CMTaaRS mutations lead to CMT via a gainoftoxicfunction mechanism, whereas other CMTaaRS mutations cause CMT by means of partial loss of aminoacylation activity, most likely through a domintnegative mechanism.

Similarly, in Drosophila, a double mutation in PheRS, which each impairs the capacity to discrimite Phe from Tyr and disrupts the postediting activity, leads to misacylation of tRPhe with Tyr, resulting in protein mistranslation and ER pressure.
