Selenium Drives a Transcriptional Adaptive Program to Block Ferroptosis and Treat Stroke. (2019, neutral): “The ability of selenium to load selenocysteine co-translationally predicted that selenium supplementation would protect via translational mechanisms (Hatfield and Gladyshev, 2002; Turanov et al., 2011).”
Discovery of functional elements in 12 Drosophila genomes using evolutionary signatures (2007, background): “It is unlikely that these genes are selenoproteins, as they appear to lack SECIS elements that direct selenocysteine recoding 55–58 .”
From Selenium to Selenoproteins: Synthesis, Identity, and Their Role in Human Health (2007, neutral): “ing subject that has been reviewed extensively (26, 52, 92, 131, 277).”
Macronuclear Genome Sequence of the Ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, a Model Eukaryote (2006, neutral): “In those eukaryotic species that use Sec, most UGA codons still cause translation termination while those mRNAs that encode Sec-containing peptides have a characteristic stem-loop sequence motif in the 3 9 UTR region that directs Sec incorporation [59,60].”
