The Chlamydomonas Genome Reveals the Evolution of Key Animal and Plant Functions

Sabeeha S. Merchant, +118 more
- 12 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: Analyses of the Chlamydomonas genome advance the understanding of the ancestral eukaryotic cell, reveal previously unknown genes associated with photosynthetic and flagellar functions, and establish links between ciliopathy and the composition and function of flagella.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of Mammalian Selenoproteomes

TL;DR: This work identified selenoprotein genes in sequenced mammalian genomes by methods that rely on identification of selenocysteine insertion RNA structures, the coding potential of UGA codons, and the presence of cysteine-containing homologs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selenoproteins: molecular pathways and physiological roles.

TL;DR: Current knowledge about how these unique proteins perform their functions at the molecular level is discussed and new insights into the roles that selenoproteins play in human health are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

How selenium has altered our understanding of the genetic code.

TL;DR: While the fundamental mechanism of Sec insertion in these organisms appears to be similar, recent studies suggest that mammals evolved additional components that allow incorporation of multiple Secs into a single protein and provide stringent regulation of Sec biosynthesis.
