Enzyme Information
| 2.9.1.1 |
L-seryl-tRNA(Sec) selenium transferase.
based on mapping to UniProt O67140
L-seryl-tRNA(Sec) + selenophosphate = L-selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Sec) + phosphate.
-!- Recognizes specifically tRNA(Sec)-species. -!- Binding of tRNA(Sec) also occurs in the absence of the seryl group. -!- 2-aminoacryloyl-tRNA, bound to the enzyme as an imine with the pyridoxal phosphate, is an intermediate in the reaction. -!- Since the selenium atom replaces oxygen in serine, the product may also be referred to as L-selenoseryl-tRNA(Sel). -!- The abbreviation Sel has also been used for selenocysteine but Sec is preferred.
