CELE_R11A8.6, irs-1, R11A8.6

irs-1 encodes a predicted cytoplasmic isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IleRS), an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that catalyzes the attachment of isoleucine to its cognate tRNA and is thus required for protein biosynthesis; loss of irs-1 activity via RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) results in sterility, embryonic lethality, and slower rates of growth, indicating that IRS-1 is essential for development.
