Identification and characterization of Fep15, a new selenocysteine-containing member of the Sep15 protein family

Novoselov, Sergey V., Hua, Deame, Lobanov, Alexey V., Gladyshev, Vadim N.

Sec (selenocysteine) is a rare amino acid in proteins. It is co-translationally inserted into proteins at UGA codons with the help of SECIS (Sec insertion sequence) elements. A full set of...

Selenophosphate synthetase 2 is essential for selenoprotein biosynthesis

Xu, Xue-Ming, Carlson, Bradley A., Irons, Robert, Mix, Heiko, Zhong, Nianxin, Gladyshev, Vadim N., ...

Selenophosphate synthetase (SelD) generates the selenium donor for selenocysteine biosynthesis in eubacteria. One homologue of SelD in eukaryotes is SPS1 (selenophosphate synthetase 1) and a second...
