O-phospho-L-seryl-tRNASec:L-selenocysteinyl-tRNA synthase (EC 2.9.1.2 , MMPSepSecS , SepSecS , SLA/LP , O-phosphoseryl-tRNA:selenocysteinyl-tRNA synthase , O-phospho-L-seryl-tRNA:L-selenocysteinyl-tRNA synthase ) is an enzyme with systematic name selenophosphate:O-phospho-L-seryl-tRNASec selenium transferase .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
O-phospho-L-seryl-tRNASec + selenophosphate ⇌ L-selenocysteinyl-tRNASec + phosphate
This enzyme is pyridoxal -phosphate protein.
