Metabolite Identification
Common NamePhosphoroselenoic acid
DescriptionPhosphoroselenoic acid, H3SePO3, is the activated selenium donor compound required for the biosynthesis of selenocysteyl-tRNA, the precursor of specific selenocysteine residues in bacterial and mammalian selenoproteins. Phosphoroselenoic acid is also the selenium donor used to synthesize selenocysteine (Sec), the 21st amino acid, which is co-translationally incorporated into selenoproteins at in-frame UGA codons. A number of enzymes have selenocysteine residues and, in some cases, the residues are located at their active sites. Proteins containing selenocysteine have been described in all three domains of life (PMID: 18156471 ). Selenophosphate synthetase (EC 2.7.9.3, human SPS1, the product of the selD gene) produces monoselenophosphate from selenide and ATP. The SPS1-encoded enzyme depends on a selenium salvage system that recycles L-selenocysteine. Selenophosphate synthetase genes play a role in a cancer cell's response to ionizing radiation and its reaction product, selenophosphate, might be involved in cancer prevention in a p53-dependent manner and could be applied to the development of a novel cancer therapy (PMID: 8986768 , 10609888 , 16786570 ).
