3S-DB Identifies an RNA Repository Facilitating Stop Codon Readthrough for Selenocysteine Insertion and Selenoproteome Expansion
2025-06-17
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Selenoproteins are proteins that contain selenocysteine (Sec, U), the 21st amino acid, whose highly reactive selenol group makes these proteins essential for redox regulation. Sec is incorporated via a stop codon readthrough mechanism—a widespread, functionally essential, and tightly regulated mode of gene expression. This process primarily involves the UGA stop codon, the SECIS RNA ele...
