Comments [?]

Function Catalyzes the attachment of serine to tRNA(Ser). Is also able to aminoacylate tRNA(Sec) with serine, to form the misacylated tRNA L-seryl-tRNA(Sec), which will be further converted into selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Sec).
Catalytic activity RHEA:12292: ATP + L-serine + tRNA(Ser) = AMP + diphosphate + H(+) + L-seryl-tRNA(Ser)
EC 6.1.1.11
RHEA:42580: ATP + L-serine + tRNA(Sec) = AMP + diphosphate + H(+) + L-seryl-tRNA(Sec)
EC 6.1.1.11
Pathway Aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis; selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Sec) biosynthesis; L-seryl-tRNA(Sec) from L-serine and tRNA(Sec): step 1/1.
Subunit Homodimer. The tRNA molecule binds across the dimer.
Subcellular location Cytoplasm.
Domain Consists of two distinct domains, a catalytic core and a N-terminal extension that is involved in tRNA binding.
Similarity Belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. Type-1 seryl-tRNA synthetase subfamily.

Comments  There are two distinct types of seryl-tRNA synthetase, as differentiated by primary sequence analysis, three-dimensional structure and substrate recognition mechanism: type 1 (MF_00176) is found in the majority of organisms (prokaryotes, eukaryotes and archaea) whereas type 2 (MF_01278) is confined to some methanogenic archaea. METBF (Methanosarcina barkeri) possesses two seryl-tRNA synthetases, one of each type.
