EC 2.7.1.164 Details
EC number
2.7.1.164
Accepted name
O-phosphoseryl-tRNASec kinase
Reaction
ATP + L-seryl-tRNASec = ADP + O-phospho-L-seryl-tRNASec
Other name(s)
PSTK, phosphoseryl-tRNA[Ser]Sec kinase, phosphoseryl-tRNASec kinase
Systematic name
ATP:L-seryl-tRNASec O-phosphotransferase
CAS registry number
91273-83-5
Comment
In archaea and eukarya selenocysteine formation is achieved by a two-step process: O-phosphoseryl-tRNASec kinase (PSTK) phosphorylates the endogenous L-seryl-tRNASec to O-phospho-L-seryl-tRNASec, and then this misacylated amino acid-tRNA species is converted to L-selenocysteinyl-tRNASec by EC 2.9.1.2 (Sep-tRNA:Sec-tRNA synthase).
