aTyr Pharma Targets for Novel Biotherapeutics Based On Naturally Resected tRNA Synthetases

SAN DIEGO, June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Pangu BioPharma, a subsidiary of aTyr Pharma in Hong Kong, today announced the filing of its third patent application on proprietary, naturally occurring, resected human tRNA synthetases. Although tRNA synthetases are universal and essential components of protein synthesis machinery found in all organisms, human synthetases have naturally occurring resected variants with potent cell signaling activities that are vital to normal functioning of humans. The work at Pangu BioPharma is focused on identifying and characterizing new examples of the tRNA synthetases resectome. In just the first year of operations, Pangu BioPharma has built a strong patent portfolio that provides fundamental components of aTyr Pharma's portfolio of biotherapeutic candidates that can be used to treat a wide variety of diseases, such as cardiovascular, neurological and metabolic disorders.

Pangu BioPharma is the result of an innovative partnership between aTyr Pharma and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), with project funding from the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC) of Hong Kong. James Cai, President of Pangu BioPharma, notes that, "Hong Kong's government and universities are working together to attract exciting drug discovery and development companies to make Hong Kong a new frontier in the biotechnology industry. We based Pangu BioPharma here in Hong Kong in order to capitalize on this unique position in Asia as well as to tap into the highly educated population and support of new technology industries. We are very excited about the productivity and the science being generated by the scientists in our labs here in Hong Kong, and believe that HKUST has been an essential partner in generating this mutual success."
