Nameselenium-dependent molybdenum hydroxylase system
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionThe enzyme selenide,water dikinase (SelD) activates selenium for use in bacteria as selenocysteine to be incorporated during protein translation or as the modified base selenouridine in certain tRNAs. However, SelD occurs in some genomes with neither of those traits, and instead acts in the post-translational addition of a labile selenium to a molybdenum-containing cofactor. A bioinformatic analysis showed that the family of TIGRFAMs model TIGR03309 represents a third selenium-dependent bacterial trait, and that it is quite widespread. The current version of this Genome Property includes both selenium cofactor maturation proteins and subunits of predicted labile selenium cofactor enzymes.
