    Summary
    Mutants have reduced OM vesiculation (McBroom, 2006). [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10552]. The lysyl-tRNA synthetase LysS is a member of the family of aminoacyl tRNA synthetases, which interpret the genetic code by covalently linking amino acids to their specific tRNA molecules. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10552].
