Evolutionary dynamics of eukaryotic selenoproteomes: large selenoproteomes may associate with aquatic life and small with terrestrial life

Abstract
In silico and metabolic labeling studies of the selenoproteomes of several eukaryotes revealed distinct selenoprotein patterns as well as an ancient origin of selenoproteins and massive, independent losses in land plants, fungi, nematodes, insects and some protists, suggesting that the environment plays an important role in selenoproteome evolution.
