Supplementary information

Lysine-tRNA ligase also known as LysRS plays a mechanical role in the translation process by facilitating the attachment of lysine to its corresponding tRNA a critical step for protein synthesis. LysRS is a class II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that contributes to the accuracy of genetic code translation. It is expressed in almost all cells as it is essential for protein production. The molecular weight of LysRS is approximately 68 kDa which reflects the complexity of its function and structure.
Biological function summary

Lysyl-tRNA synthetase participates in more than just translation. It is also involved in signal transduction pathways due to its ability to interact with other proteins. LysRS forms a multi-synthetase complex which includes several other aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and auxiliary proteins. Through this complex it influences functions like gene expression and immune responses. The activity of LysRS outside of its synthetase function shows its versatility within cellular processes.

Pathways

Lysyl-tRNA synthetase is involved in critical pathways like mTOR signaling and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis. These pathways are central to controlling cell growth and survival. LysRS works closely with mTOR a central protein that senses nutrient availability and cellular energy influencing the synthesis of proteins in response to cellular conditions. The proper functioning of these pathways is essential for cellular adaptation and responsiveness.

Lysyl-tRNA synthetase plays a significant role. Diseases like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and cancer are associated with LysRS mutations and dysregulation. In particular Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease showcases the involvement of LysRS through dysfunctional protein synthesis affecting peripheral nerves. LysRS's connection to cancer involves its interaction with proteins like mTOR which can influence cancer progression through altered cell growth pathways. Understanding LysRS's role provides insights into the mechanisms behind these diseases.

General info

Function

Catalyzes the specific attachment of an amino acid to its cognate tRNA in a 2 step reaction : the amino acid (AA) is first activated by ATP to form AA-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of the tRNA (PubMed : 18029264, PubMed : 18272479, PubMed : 9278442). When secreted, acts as a signaling molecule that induces immune response through the activation of monocyte/macrophages (PubMed : 15851690). Catalyzes the synthesis of the signaling molecule diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A), and thereby mediates disruption of the complex between HINT1 and MITF and the concomitant activation of MITF transcriptional activity (PubMed : 14975237, PubMed : 19524539, PubMed : 23159739, PubMed : 5338216).. (Microbial infection) Interacts with HIV-1 virus GAG protein, facilitating the selective packaging of tRNA(3)(Lys), the primer for reverse transcription initiation.
