Selenoproteins in mammalian spermatogenesis:role of the nuclear GPx4 [PDF]
The selenoprotein Phospholipid Hydroperoxide Glutathione Peroxidase (PHGPx/GPx4) is an enzyme unique among the various GPxs, because it is able to use protein thiols, beside glutathione, The GPx4 gene encodes for three isoforms having different ...

Bioinformatic analysis of glutathione peroxidase family from theobroma cacao and gene expression during Moniliophthora perniciosa infection.[Poster-B185] [PDF]
Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are enzymes which are part of the antioxidant system of the cell. Mammalian GPXs are known as selenoproteins because containing the selenocysteine (Sec) amino acid. In plants, these proteins are less known.

Aminoglycoside-driven biosynthesis of selenium-deficient Selenoprotein P [PDF]
Selenoprotein biosynthesis relies on the co-translational insertion of selenocysteine in response to UGA codons. Aminoglycoside antibiotics interfere with ribosomal function and may cause codon misreading.

Selenoproteins and selenoproteomes
Recent progress in high-throughput sequencing and analysis allowed efficient identification of selenocysteine-containing proteins in sequence databases, including full sets of selenoproteins in organisms, designated selenoproteomes. Information is currently available on selenoproteomes from all major model organisms as well as humans, which have 25 ...

Selenoproteins and Thyroid Cancer
Selenoproteins, in which Se exists in the form of selenocysteine, are essential for protection against oxidative damage and cancer. Genetic data has provided evidence that reduced levels of these proteins, induced by loss of heterozygosity or chromosomal alterations [1], result in cellular oxidative stress as well as derangement of signaling cascades ...

Needed for completion of the human genome: hypothesis driven experiments and biologically realistic mathematical models [PDF]
With the sponsorship of ``Fundacio La Caixa'' we met in Barcelona, November 21st and 22nd, to analyze the reasons why, after the completion of the human genome sequence, the identification all protein coding genes and their variants remains a distant ...

Selenoprotein M is expressed during bone development [PDF]
25 selenoproteins that contain selenium, incorporated as selenocysteine (Sec), have been identified to date. Selenoprotein M (SELM) is one of seven endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident, Sec-containing proteins that may be involved in posttranslational ...
