Genome Property Definition Page

AccessionGenProp0692
Nameselenouridine-containing tRNA
TypePATHWAY
DescriptionSelenium may occur in cells both in proteins, in the form of selenocysteine, and in tRNA, in the form of 2-selenouridine. The two incorporation systems both rely on the selenium donor protein, selenide-water dikinase. This property describes the two-gene combination of selenide-water dikinase and tRNA 2-selenouridine synthase. Note that an initial sulfurtransferase reaction must proceed the action of 2-selenouridine synthase; the enzyme(s) responsible is not currently included in the definition of this Genome Property.
