Abstract excerpt
In mammalian cells, the incorporation of the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine, into proteins is guided by the Sec machinery. The function of this protein complex requires several protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions, leading to the incorporation of selenocysteine at UGA codons. It is guided by stem-loop structures localized in the 3' untranslated regions of the selenoprotein-encoding genes. Here, we...
