Identification of the Selenoprotein S Positive UGA Recoding (SPUR) element and its position-dependent activity

Identification of the Selenoprotein S Positive UGA Recoding (SPUR) element and its position-dependent activity

Selenoproteins are a unique class of proteins that contain the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine (Sec). Addition of Sec into a protein is achieved by recoding of the UGA stop codon. All 25 mammalian selenoprotein mRNAs possess a 3′ UTR stem-loop structure, the Selenocysteine Insertion Sequence (SECIS)...
