| Superfamily | Bira Bifunctional Protein; Domain 2 | 
| Functional Family | Serine--tRNA ligase, cytoplasmic | 
Enzyme Information
| 6.1.1.11 | Serine--tRNA ligase. based on mapping to UniProt P49591 (1) ATP + L-serine + tRNA(Ser) = AMP + diphosphate + L-seryl-tRNA(Ser). (2) ATP + L-serine + tRNA(Sec) = AMP + diphosphate + L-seryl-tRNA(Sec). -!- This enzyme also recognizes tRNA(Sec), the special tRNA for selenocysteine, and catalyzes the formation of L-seryl-tRNA(Sec), the substrate for EC 2.9.1.1. |
