Selenium metabolism in bacteria

2001
The biosynthesis and specific incorporation of selenocysteine into protein in bacteria requires the function of two cis and four trans elements. The cis elements are a UGA codon determining the position of selenocysteine insertion into the nascent polypeptide and a secondary/tertiary structure within the mRNA, designated the SECIS element, following ...

Metabolic and functional defects in selenium deficiency

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1981
Abstract This paper is concerned with present-day knowledge of the biological role of selenium, of its interaction with other nutrients including trace elements, and with the importance of selenium in human nutrition and health. Selenium has been shown to be an integral part of glutathione peroxidase, which catalyses the reduction of ...

METABOLIC INTERRELATIONSHIPS AND ADAPTATIONS IN SELENIUM TOXICITY

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1972
The experiments discussed in this review show that the toxicity of selenium can be decreased in a number of different ways; arsenic diminishes selenium poisoning by stimulating the excretion of Se into the bile; linseed oil meal apparently lessens the effects of chronic selenosis by binding the Se in the tissues in a less toxic form; and methionine ...

Selenium metabolism and function.

Clinical physiology and biochemistry, 1986
Selenium like many other elements has a bimodal effect. At lower concentrations selenium is an essential trace element necessary for the growth of man and animals. However, at higher concentrations, selenium has toxic properties for man and animals. The biochemistry of selenium as a component of glutathione peroxidase and the analytical properties of ...
