Genome-scale hypomethylation in the cord blood DNAs associated with early onset preeclampsia

TL;DR: Evidence of prominent genome-scale DNA methylation modifications in cord blood DNAs associated with EOPE is provided, for the first time, to suggest a connection between inflammation and lipid dysregulation in EOPE-associated newborns and a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases later in adulthood.
Journal Article

Role of selenoprotein P in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: These findings demonstrate that SelP protects neuronal cells from Abeta-induced toxicity, suggesting a neuroprotective role for SelP in preventing neurodegenerative disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isoform-specific binding of selenoprotein P to the β-propeller domain of apolipoprotein E receptor 2 mediates selenium supply.

TL;DR: It is shown that apoER2 missing the ligand-binding repeat region, which can result from cleavage at a furin cleavage site present in some apo ER2 isoforms, can act as a receptor for Sepp1, which supplies selenium to tissues via receptor-mediated endocytosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression and characterization of nonmammalian selenoprotein P in the zebrafish, Danio rerio.

TL;DR: The human, bovine and rodent selenoprotein P genes encode proteins containing 10–12 selenocysteines, a protein of considerable intrigue, due to its unusual composition and requirements for its biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biosynthesis of selenocysteine on its tRNA in eukaryotes

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative genomics and experimental analyses revealed that the mammalian Sec synthase (SecS) is the previously identified pyridoxal phosphate-containing protein known as the soluble liver antigen SecS required selenophosphate and O-phosphoseryl-tRNA[Ser] to generate selenocysteyl-tRNAs.
