Description
A pyridoxal 5'-phosphate enzyme identified in Escherichia coli. Recognises specifically tRNASec-species. Binding of tRNASec 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-tRNASec. The symbol Sel has also been used for selenocysteine but Sec is preferred.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
L-selenocysteinyl-tRNASel synthase; L-selenocysteinyl-tRNASec synthase selenocysteine synthase; cysteinyl-tRNASec-selenium transferase; cysteinyl-tRNASec-selenium transferase
Reaction
L-seryl-tRNASec + selenophosphate = L-selenocysteinyl-tRNASec + phosphate
