Gene Description

LysS is the cytoplasmic homodimeric lysyl-tRNA synthetase of Pseudomonas putida KT2440. Each subunit contributes the ATP-dependent activity that attaches L-lysine to tRNA(Lys), producing Lys-tRNA(Lys) for translation; magnesium binding, dimerization, localization, and catalysis are assigned by automated family rules rather than direct KT2440 experiments.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0000049 tRNA binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000118
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: tRNA binding is inherent but not defining beside lysine-tRNA ligase activity.
Reason: The exact reaction identifies tRNA(Lys).
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/lysS/lysS-uniprot.txt
Reaction=tRNA(Lys) + L-lysine + ATP
GO:0000166 nucleotide binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Generic nucleotide binding is uninformative because ATP is specified.
Reason: Specific catalytic activity is defining.
Supporting Evidence:

Reaction=tRNA(Lys) + L-lysine + ATP
GO:0000287 magnesium ion binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000104
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Magnesium binding is explicitly rule-assigned but ancillary.
Reason: The record predicts three magnesium ions per subunit; no direct KT2440 measurement is available.
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/lysS/lysS-uniprot.txt
Binds 3 Mg(2+) ions per subunit.
GO:0003676 nucleic acid binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Nucleic acid binding is too broad for the specified tRNA substrate.
Reason: tRNA(Lys) is explicitly identified.
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/lysS/lysS-uniprot.txt
Reaction=tRNA(Lys) + L-lysine + ATP
GO:0004812 aminoacyl-tRNA ligase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Generic aaRS activity is correct but less informative.
Reason: The separately present lysine-specific activity captures the function more precisely.
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/lysS/lysS-uniprot.txt
RecName: Full=Lysine--tRNA ligase
GO:0004824 lysine-tRNA ligase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: This is the substrate-specific catalytic activity of LysS.
Reason: The exact reaction is assigned by HAMAP rule; homodimerization does not negate the catalytic capability of each polypeptide.
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/lysS/lysS-uniprot.txt
Reaction=tRNA(Lys) + L-lysine + ATP
GO:0005524 ATP binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: ATP is a substrate but binding is ancillary.
Reason: Lysine-tRNA ligase activity is defining.
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/lysS/lysS-uniprot.txt
Reaction=tRNA(Lys) + L-lysine + ATP
GO:0005737 cytoplasm
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Cytoplasm is plausible and rule-assigned but not defining.
Reason: This is not direct localization evidence.
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/lysS/lysS-uniprot.txt
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm
GO:0005829 cytosol
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Cytosol is compatible with cytoplasmic localization but generic and inferred.
Reason: Localization is contextual.
Supporting Evidence:

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm
GO:0006418 tRNA aminoacylation for protein translation
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: The broad process is less informative than lysyl-tRNA aminoacylation.
Reason: GO:0006430 already captures the defining substrate-specific process.
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/lysS/lysS-uniprot.txt
Reaction=tRNA(Lys) + L-lysine + ATP
GO:0006430 lysyl-tRNA aminoacylation
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: This is the substrate-specific core process.
Reason: The rule-based reaction exactly matches it.
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/lysS/lysS-uniprot.txt
Reaction=tRNA(Lys) + L-lysine + ATP
GO:0042803 protein homodimerization activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Homodimerization is consistent with the rule-assigned LysS quaternary structure but is not the catalytic function.
Reason: This ARBA-derived term is supported only by a HAMAP-rule subunit statement.
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/lysS/lysS-uniprot.txt
SUBUNIT: Homodimer.
