Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex-interacting multifunctional protein 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AIMP1 gene.[1][2][3]

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that is specifically induced by apoptosis. The release of this cytokine renders the tumor-associated vasculature sensitive to tumor necrosis factor. The precursor of SCYE1 (pro-SCYE1) is identical to the p43 subunit, which is associated with the multi-tRNA synthetase complex. Therefore, pro-SCYE1 may function in binding RNA as part of the tRNA synthetase complex in normal cells and in stimulating inflammatory responses after proteolytic cleavage in tumor cells.[3]

Interactions

SCYE1 has been shown to interact with SMURF2.[4]
