Conserved selenoprotein synthesis is not critical for oxidative stress defence and the lifespan of Drosophila.

EMBO reports - 1 Mar 2004

Hirosawa-Takamori Mitsuko, Chung Ho-Ryun, Jäckle Herbert

Abstract excerpt

Selenoprotein synthesis is conserved from bacteria to man. It involves the differential decoding of the UGA stop codon as selenocysteine. The proteomes of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, with the exception of yeast, contain only few selenoproteins. This low number is explained by a counterselect...
