Provided are compositions comprising newly identified protein fragments of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, polynucleotides that encode them and complements thereof, related agents, and methods of use thereof in diagnostic, drug discovery, research, and therapeutic applications.

The present invention relates to a novel CRS fragment peptide with immune-enhancing activity and its uses, more specifically to a novel peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or an amino acid sequence having 95% or more sequence homology thereto, and its use as a vaccine adjuvant, an anticancer agent, and an antiviral composition. The peptide disclosed in the present invention is a CRS fragment disclosed for the first time in this specification, exhibiting anticancer activity, immune function enhancement, and antiviral activity.
