Also known as SPSSPS1
Summary
SEPHS1 (selenophosphate synthetase 1, HGNC:19685) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10p13, encoding Zincore component SEPHS1 (P49903). Core component of the zincore complex, a heterotetramer that acts as a molecular ‘grip’ to stabilize transcription factors at DNA-binding sites across the genome, thereby controlling gene expression. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 13.9% of cell lines).
This gene encodes an enzyme that synthesizes selenophosphate from selenide and ATP. Selenophosphate is the selenium donor used to synthesize selenocysteine, which is co-translationally incorporated into selenoproteins at in-frame UGA codons.

Function. Core component of the zincore complex, a heterotetramer that acts as a molecular ‘grip’ to stabilize transcription factors at DNA-binding sites across the genome, thereby controlling gene expression. The zincore complex binds specifically to zinc finger transcription factors, such as ZFP91, ZNF652, ZNF526 and PRDM15, and stabilizes them onto their cognate DNA motif. Within the complex, SEPHS1, recognizes and binds the backbone of zinc fingers of transcription factors in a sequence-independent manner via its arginine clamp, enhancing their DNA-binding stability. Plays an essential role in redox homeostasis. May also be involved in selenocysteine biosynthesis by catalyzing formation of selenophosphate from selenide and ATP. Its role in selenocysteine biosynthesis is however unclear and several studies suggest that it does not act as a selenophosphate synthase in vivo or plays an non-essential role. Required for cardiac differentiation.
