Metabolite Identification
Common NameSelenomethionine
DescriptionSelenomethionine, also known as selenomethionine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Selenomethionine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Selenomethionine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Selenomethionine can be converted into se-adenosylselenomethionine and phosphoric acid through its interaction with the enzyme S-adenosylmethionine synthase. In cattle, selenomethionine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the selenoamino acid metabolism pathway.

Enzymes

General function:
Coenzyme transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. The reaction comprises two steps that are both catalyzed by the same enzyme: formation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) and triphosphate, and subsequent hydrolysis of the triphosphate.

General function:
Translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis
Specific function:
Catalyzes the specific attachment of an amino acid to its cognate tRNA in a 2 step reaction: the amino acid (AA) is first activated by ATP to form AA-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of the tRNA. Plays a role in the synthesis of ribosomal RNA in the nucleolus.
