== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ANGI_HUMAN ANGI_HUMAN] Defects in ANG are the cause of susceptibility to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 9 (ALS9) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/611895 611895]. ALS is a degenerative disorder of motor neurons in the cortex, brain stem and spinal cord. ALS is characterized by muscular weakness and atrophy.<ref>PMID:17886298</ref> <ref>PMID:15557516</ref> <ref>PMID:16501576</ref> <ref>PMID:17900154</ref> <ref>PMID:18087731</ref> <ref>PMID:17703939</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ANGI_HUMAN ANGI_HUMAN] May function as a tRNA-specific ribonuclease that abolishes protein synthesis by specifically hydrolyzing cellular tRNAs. Binds to actin on the surface of endothelial cells; once bound, angiogenin is endocytosed and translocated to the nucleus. Angiogenin induces vascularization of normal and malignant tissues. Angiogenic activity is regulated by interaction with RNH1 in vivo.<ref>PMID:1400510</ref> <ref>PMID:19354288</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Human angiogenin (Ang), an unusual member of the pancreatic RNase superfamily, is a potent inducer of angiogenesis in vivo. Its ribonucleolytic activity is weak (10(4) to 10(6)-fold lower than that of bovine RNase A), but nonetheless seems to be essential for biological function. Ang has been implicated in the establishment of a wide range of human tumours and has therefore emerged as an important target for the design of new anti-cancer compounds. We report high-resolution crystal structures for native Ang in two different forms (Pyr1 at 1.8 A and Met-1 at 2.0 A resolution) and for two active-site variants, K40Q and H13A, at 2.0 A resolution. The native structures, together with earlier mutational and biochemical data, provide a basis for understanding the unique functional properties of this molecule. The major structural features that underlie the weakness of angiogenin's RNase activity include: (i) the obstruction of the pyrimidine-binding site by Gln117; (ii) the existence of a hydrogen bond between Thr44 and Thr80 that further suppresses the effectiveness of the pyrimidine site; (iii) the absence of a counterpart for the His119-Asp121 hydrogen bond that potentiates catalysis in RNase A (the corresponding aspartate in Ang, Asp116, has been recruited to stabilise the blockage of the pyrimidine site); and (iv) the absence of any precise structural counterparts for two important purine-binding residues of RNase A. Analysis of the native structures has revealed details of the cell-binding region and nuclear localisation signal of Ang that are critical for angiogenicity. The cell-binding site differs dramatically from the corresponding regions of RNase A and two other homologues, eosinophil-derived neurotoxin and onconase, all of which lack angiogenic activity. Determination of the structures of the catalytically inactive variants K40Q and H13A has now allowed a rigorous assessment of the relationship between the ribonucleolytic and biological activities of Ang. No significant change outside the enzymatic active site was observed in K40Q, establishing that the loss of angiogenic activity for this derivative is directly attributable to disruption of the catalytic apparatus. The H13A structure shows some changes beyond the ribonucleolytic site, but sites involved in cell-binding and nuclear translocation are essentially unaffected by the amino acid replacement.
