Nitrate-inducible formate dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli K-12. II. Evidence that a mRNA stem-loop structure is essential for decoding opal (UGA) as selenocysteine.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 25 Nov 1991

Berg B L, Baron C, Stewart V

Abstract excerpt

fdnG, encoding the selenopeptide of Escherichia coli formate dehydrogenase-N, contains an in-frame opal (UGA) codon at amino acid position 196 that directs selenocysteine incorporation. We have identified sequences that contribute to the mRNA context required for decoding this UGA as selenocysteine. We identified a potential stem-loop structure immediately downstream of UGA196 that is comparable in size and...
