recombinant N-terminally His6-tagged wild-type and mutant enzymes from Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3) by nickel affinity chromatography and gel filtration, followed by tag cleavage through TEV protease, another step of nickel affinity chromatography, and dialysis Homo sapiens

Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
L-selenocysteine + reduced acceptor = selenide + L-alanine + acceptor reaction mechanism and mechanism of substrate recognition, model, overview. A pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-substrate intermediate is attacked by a deprotonated active site Cys, producing the protein-bound persulfide or sulfoselenide, formation of the external Cys-aldimine intermediate. Homo sapiens

additional information the enzyme is specific for L-selenocysteine versus L-cysteine, substrate specificity for selenium and sulfur is determined by a single residue, Asp246, in human selenocysteine lyase, chemical basis for and mechanism of the enzyme's substrate discrimination of wild-type enzyme and mutant D146K/H389T, overview. The wild-type reaction with Cys is a single-turnover reaction, producing a dead-end protein adduct Homo sapiens ?
