Orphan selenoproteins

BioEssays, 1999
Selenoproteins contain selenium in stoichiometric amounts. Most are synthesized by a process that decodes UGA codons as selenocysteine. Twelve animal selenoproteins have been characterized, and biochemical functions have been described for all but three. Two of these "orphan" selenoproteins are discussed in this paper.

Selenoprotein T: An Essential Oxidoreductase Serving as a Guardian of Endoplasmic Reticulum Homeostasis

Antioxidants and Redox Signaling, 2020
Significance: Selenoproteins incorporate the essential nutrient selenium into their polypeptide chain. Seven members of this family reside in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the exact function of most of which is poorly understood.

Regulation of Selenoproteins

Annual Review of Nutrition, 1993
Selenium exerts its biological activity largely through selenoproteins, which contain the element in the form of selenocysteine. Five selenoproteins have been characterized in animal tissues and there is evidence that a number of others exist. Selenoprotein synthesis is a complex process that has been well characterized in prokaryotic systems but ...

Selenoprotein P

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2000
Selenoprotein P (SeP) is an extracellular, monomeric glycoprotein containing up to 10 selenocysteine residues in the polypeptide chain. It is ubiquitously expressed in mammalian tissues, and in human plasma it accounts for at least 40% of the total selenium concentration. SeP binds to heparin and cell membranes, and is associated with endothelial cells.

Membrane-Bound Selenoproteins

Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2015
Selenoproteins employ selenium to supplement the chemistry available through the common 20 amino acids. These powerful enzymes are affiliated with redox biology, often in connection with the detection, management, and signaling of oxidative stress. Among them, membrane-bound selenoproteins play prominent roles in signaling pathways, Ca(2+) regulation ...

Selenoprotein expression and function—Selenoprotein W

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2009
Selenoprotein W (SeW) is a small selenoprotein (85 to 88 amino acids) first identified in sheep suffering from selenium deficiency. The levels are highest in muscle, heart (except rodents) spleen and brain. The deduced amino acid sequence has been obtained for mice, rats, monkeys, humans, sheep, pigs, fish and chickens.

Selenoprotein inAspergillus terreus

Biological Trace Element Research, 1988
Aspergillus terreus, a moderately selenium-tolerant fungus, metabolized Se-selenite into several protein seleno-amino acids: selenomethionine and selenocysteine, as well as, nonprotein seleno-amino acids, selenocystathionine, and y-glutamyl selenomethyl selenocysteine.

Prioritized brain selenium retention and selenoprotein expression: Nutritional insights into Parkinson's disease.

Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2019
Selenium (Se), an essential trace mineral, confers its physiological functions mainly through selenoproteins, most of which are oxidoreductases. Results from animal, epidemiological, and human genetic studies link Parkinson's disease to Se and certain ...

Expression of selenoprotein genes in muscle is crucial for the growth of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed diets supplemented with selenium yeast

Aquaculture, 2018
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for fish growth and performs its physiological functions mainly through incorporating into selenoproteins. It is well known that dietary Se regulates fish growth by controlling the synthesis of deiodinase, a ...
