Deskripsi

Mutations in glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GlyRS) cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a neuromuscular disorder characterized by axonal degeneration. Here the authors show that mutant GlyRS interacts with histone deacetylase 6, resulting in increased deacetylation of α-tubulin and axonal transport deficits.
