TRU-TCA1-1 Gene

transfer RNA-SeC (TCA) 1-1

Opal suppressor phosphoserine tRNAs are the only authentic, naturally occurring suppressor tRNAs in higher eukaryotes. The human genome contains a single opal suppressor phosphoserine tRNA gene, TRNAU1 (O'Neill et al., 1985 [PubMed 3156131]).[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2010]

SEPSECS Gene

Sep (O-phosphoserine) tRNA:Sec (selenocysteine) tRNA synthase

The amino acid selenocysteine is the only amino acid that does not have its own tRNA synthetase. Instead, this amino acid is synthesized on its cognate tRNA in a three step process. The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the third step in the process, the conversion of O-phosphoseryl-tRNA(Sec) to selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Sec).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
