2.9.1.2 A239T naturally occurring mutation and site-directed mutagenesis. The mutant forms a stable complex with GroEL. Residue Ala239 is located in helix alpha8 near the site that interacts with the variable arm of tRNASec, and is distant from the active site. The A239T variant binds tRNASec with less affinity compared to wild-type SepSecS, but its catalytic function is unaffected 762417 2.9.1.2 H166A the mutant is partially active in forming Sec-tRNASec in vivo. In vitro, the mutant is partially active in forming Cys-tRNASec 694428 2.9.1.2 H166F mutant is inactive in vivo 694428 2.9.1.2 H166Q mutant is inactive in vivo 694428 2.9.1.2 K173A in vivo activity of the mutant is indistinguishable from that of the wild-type enzyme 695136 2.9.1.2 K173M in vivo activity of the mutant is indistinguishable from that of the wild-type enzyme 695136 2.9.1.2 additional information mapping pathogenic mutations onto the tetrameric human SepSecS-tRNASec complex, overview 762417 2.9.1.2 Q105A mutant is inactive in vivo 695136 2.9.1.2 R307A the mutant is significantly less active in L-selenocysteinyl-tRNASec formation in vivo and Cys-tRNASec formation in vitro 694428 2.9.1.2 R313A mutant is inactive in vivo 695136
