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: file:PSEPK/lysS/lysS-uniprot.txt 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: file:PSEPK/lysS/lysS-uniprot.txt 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. |
