Reaction

EC Number Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
2.9.1.1 L-seryl-tRNASec + selenophosphate = L-selenocysteinyl-tRNASec + phosphate the formyl group of pyridoxal phosphate forms a Schiff base with the alpha-amino group of L-Ser with the subsequent 2,3-elimination of a water molecule and the generation of an aminoacrylyl-tRNASecUCA intermediate Escherichia coli
