nomenclature changes

06.30.2020 Human symbol has changed for genepage ID: 6073788 From hars to HARS1

Note that amino acid and nucleotise trees suggest mammal HARS1 and HARS2 aren't strict orthologs of non-mammalian tandem HARS genes.

HARS duplication possibly occured in sarcopterygii.

Ancestral gene may be multi-functional or Independent sub-functionalization following a duplication, or did sub-functionalization precede duplication and re-orientation?

summary for human HARS1 from NCBI

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic enzyme which belongs to the class II family of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. The enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of histidyl-transfer RNA, which is essential for the incorporation of histidine into proteins. The gene is located in a head-to-head orientation with HARSL on chromosome five, where the homologous genes share a bidirectional promoter. The gene product is a frequent target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune disease polymyositis/dermatomyositis. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
