The complex consisting of selenocysteinyl (Sec) transfer RNA (tRNA) for Sec (Sec-tRNASec), selenocysteine-specific elongation factor (Eefsec), selenocysteine insertion sequence-binding protein 2 (Secisbp2) aka Sbp2 and GTP interacts with the 80S ribosomal protein L30 (Rpl30). This triggers the hydrolysis of GTP (to GDP) by Eefsec and delivery of Sec-tRNASec to the ribosomal A site (Chavatte et al. 2005). Before the Sec residue is inserted into the nascent polypeptide chain, Eefsec:GDP is released.
