Diagram of plant selenium metabolism. Numbers denote known enzymes. (1) sulfite oxidase, (2) ATP sulfurylase, (3) adenosine phosphosulfate kinase, (4) sulfotransferase, (5) adenosine phosphosulfate reductase, (6) glutathione S-transferase, (7) cysteine synthase, (8) cystathionine-gamma-synthase, (9) cystathionine-beta-lyase, (10) methionine synthase, (11) S-adenosylmethionine synthetase, (11) SAM-dependent methyltransferase, (13) adenosylhomocysteinase, (14) selenocysteine methyltransferase, (15) NifS-like protein or selenocysteinelyase, (16) selenocysteinelyase. Met cycles: First, SeHcys may be converted to SeMet via methionine synthase, and SeMet is subsequently converted to SeAM by S-adenosylmethionine synthetase. Se-Adenosyl-L-selenomethionine (SeAM) is catalysed by SAM-dependent methyltransferase to generate Se-Adenosyl-L-selenohomocysteine (SeHcysAM), and then adenosylhomocysteinase catalyses the conversion of SeHcysAM to SeHcys
