SYSNAME     L-Seryl-tRNA(Ser):selenophosphate seleniumtransferase
REACTION    L-Seryl-tRNA(Ser) + Selenophosphate = L-Selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Ser) +
            H2O + Orthophosphate
SUBSTRATE   L-Seryl-tRNA(Ser)
            Selenophosphate
PRODUCT     L-Selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Ser)
            H2O
            Orthophosphate
COFACTOR    Pyridoxal phosphate
COMMENT     2-Aminoacryloyl-tRNA bound to the enzyne as an imine with the
            pyridoxal phosphate, is an intermediate in the reaction.
