L-serine:tRNASer ligase (AMP-forming)
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.
a two-step reaction, seryl-tRNA synthetase is a class II synthetase depending on rather few and simple identity elements in tRNASer to determine the amino acid specificity, tRNASer acceptor stem microhelices can be aminoacylated with serine as part of the tRNA a valuable tool for investigating the structural motifs in a tRNASer-seryl-tRNA synthetase complex, tRNASer secondary structure, overview
formation of a seryl adenylate intermediate, mechanism of discrimination between cognate and noncognate amino acids, quantitative computational analysis, overview
threonine will compete with serine for formation of the activated intermediate while alanine and glycine will not compete significantly, overview, binding of ATP or seryl adenylate leads to the stabilization of a motif 2 loop that interacts with the tRNA acceptor stem

the interaction of ttRNASer with the enzyme, interactions between the catalytically important loops and tRNA contribute to the change in dynamics of tRNA in free and bound states, respectively. These interactions help in the development of catalytically effective organization of the active site. The A76 end of the tttRNASer exhibits fast dynamics in free State, which is significantly reduced down within the active site bound with adenylate. The loops change their conformation via multimodal dynamics. Presence of bound Mg2+ ions around tRNA and dynamically slow bound water are other common features of the enzyme
