TLDR
A species of beef seryl-tRNA obtained by reversed phase column chromatography that responds specifically to the codon UGA was found and in addition, a species of rabbit and of chicken serially-tRNAs that recognizes U GA was found.Abstract:
Differences in the elution profiles of seryl-tRNAs of beef and of rabbit liver and brain were observed. A species of beef seryl-tRNA obtained by reversed phase column chromatography that responds specifically to the codon UGA was found. In addition, a species of rabbit and of chicken seryl-tRNA that recognizes UGA was found.read more

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.

Identification of a selenocysteyl-tRNA(Ser) in mammalian cells that recognizes the nonsense codon, UGA.
TL;DR: It is proposed that a metabolic pathway for selenocysteine synthesis in mammalian cells is the conversion of seryl-tRNA(Ser) via phosphoseryl-t RNA(Ser), which recognizes UGA but not any of the serine codons.

The selenium to selenoprotein pathway in eukaryotes: more molecular partners than anticipated.
TL;DR: The amino acid selenocysteine is the major biological form of the trace element selenium and is co-translationally incorporated in selenoproteins in eukaryotes.
