Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, and physiological roles of the iodothyronine selenodeiodinases.
TL;DR: The goal of this review is to place the exciting advances that have occurred in understanding of the molecular biology of the types 1, 2, and 3 (D1, D2, and D3, respectively) iodothyronine deiodinases into a biochemical and physiological context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recognition of UGA as a selenocysteine codon in type I deiodinase requires sequences in the 3' untranslated region.
TL;DR: It is shown that successful incorporation of seleno-cysteine into this enzyme requires a specific 3′ untranslated (3′ut) segment of about 200 nucleotides, which is found in both rat and human 5′DI messenger RNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of selenium on immune responses.
Peter R. Hoffmann,Marla J. Berry +1 more
TL;DR: Deciding how Se intake differentially affects various types of immune responses and dissecting the mechanisms by which this occurs will lead to a better utilization of Se-supplementation for human diseases involving the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Knowing when not to stop: selenocysteine incorporation in eukaryotes.
Susan C. Low,Marla J. Berry +1 more
TL;DR: The regulation of translation frequently involves protein-RNA interactions, and in prokaryotes a single RNA-binding protein, a selenocysteine-specific elongation factor, interacts with both the tRNA and mRNA to confer decoding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional characterization of the eukaryotic SECIS elements which direct selenocysteine insertion at UGA codons.
TL;DR: The presence of SECIS elements in eukaryotic selenoprotein mRNAs permits complete flexibility in UGA codon position.
