IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 6.1.1.11

Names

Accepted name:
serine—tRNA ligase
Other names:
SerRS
serine translase
seryl-tRNA synthetase
seryl-transfer RNA synthetase
seryl-transfer ribonucleate synthetase
seryl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase
Systematic name:
L-serine:tRNASer ligase (AMP-forming)

Reactions

Comments:

This enzyme also recognizes tRNASec, the special tRNA for selenocysteine, and catalyses the formation of L-seryl-tRNASec, the substrate for EC 2.9.1.1, L-seryl-tRNASec selenium transferase.
