Putative ATPase; Involved in the post-transcriptional modification of the uridine at the wobble position (U34) of tRNA(Lys), tRNA(Glu) and tRNA(Gln). Catalyzes the conversion of 2-thiouridine (S2U-RNA) to 2-selenouridine (Se2U-RNA). Acts in a two-step process involving geranylation of 2-thiouridine (S2U) to S-geranyl-2-thiouridine (geS2U) and subsequent selenation of the latter derivative to 2-selenouridine (Se2U) in the tRNA chain (Probable); Belongs to the SelU family.

Similar to E. coli selenocysteinyl-tRNA-specific translation factor (AAC76614.1); Blastp hit to AAC76614.1 (614 aa), 85% identity in aa 1 - 614.

Putative aminotransferase class-V; Master enzyme that delivers sulfur to a number of partners involved in Fe-S cluster assembly, tRNA modification or cofactor biosynthesis. Catalyzes the removal of elemental sulfur and selenium atoms from cysteine and selenocysteine to produce alanine. Functions as a sulfur delivery protein for Fe-S cluster synthesis onto IscU, an Fe-S scaffold assembly protein, as well as other S acceptor proteins. Also functions as a selenium delivery protein in the pathway for the biosynthesis of selenophosphate; Belongs to the class-V pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent [...]

Putative selenocysteine synthase; [L-seryl-tRNA(Ser) selenium transferase].

Similar to E. coli thioredoxin reductase (AAC73974.1); Blastp hit to AAC73974.1 (321 aa), 96% identity in aa 1 - 320.

Putative formate dehydrogenase formation protein; Required for formate dehydrogenase (FDH) activity. Acts as a sulfur carrier protein that transfers sulfur from IscS to the molybdenum cofactor prior to its insertion into FDH. Belongs to the FdhD family.

Selenocysteine lyase; Cysteine desulfurases mobilize the sulfur from L-cysteine to yield L-alanine, an essential step in sulfur metabolism for biosynthesis of a variety of sulfur-containing biomolecules. Component of the suf operon, which is activated and required under specific conditions such as oxidative stress and iron limitation. Acts as a potent selenocysteine lyase in vitro, that mobilizes selenium from L- selenocysteine. Selenocysteine lyase activity is however unsure in vivo.

Putative selenocysteine synthase (L-seryl-tRNA(Ser) selenium transferase).

DNA topoisomerase III; Releases the supercoiling and torsional tension of DNA, which is introduced during the DNA replication and transcription, by transiently cleaving and rejoining one strand of the DNA duplex. Introduces a single-strand break via transesterification at a target site in duplex DNA. The scissile phosphodiester is attacked by the catalytic tyrosine of the enzyme, resulting in the formation of a DNA- (5'-phosphotyrosyl)-enzyme intermediate and the expulsion of a 3'-OH DNA strand. The free DNA strand then undergoes passage around the unbroken strand, thus removing DNA su [...]
