Function | mRNA-binding protein that binds to the SECIS (selenocysteine insertion sequence) element present in the 3'-UTR of mRNAs encoding selenoproteins and facilitates the incorporation of the rare amino acid selenocysteine (PubMed:35709277). Insertion of selenocysteine at UGA codons is mediated by SECISBP2 and EEFSEC: SECISBP2 (1) specifically binds the SECIS sequence once the 80S ribosome encounters an in-frame UGA codon and (2) contacts the RPS27A/eS31 of the 40S ribosome before ribosome stalling (PubMed:35709277). (3) GTP-bound EEFSEC then delivers selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Sec) to the 80S ribosome and adopts a preaccommodated state conformation (PubMed:35709277). (4) After GTP hydrolysis, EEFSEC dissociates from the assembly, selenocysteinyl- tRNA(Sec) accommodates, and peptide bond synthesis and selenoprotein elongation occur (PubMed:35709277). |

Background
The incorporation of selenocysteine into a protein requires the concerted action of an mRNA element called a sec insertion sequence (SECIS), a selenocysteine-specific translation elongation factor and a SECIS binding protein. With these elements in place, a UGA codon can be decoded as selenocysteine. The gene described in this record encodes a nuclear protein that functions as a SECIS binding protein. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a reduction in activity of a specific thyroxine deiodinase, a selenocysteine-containing enzyme, and abnormal thyroid hormone metabolism.
