- Аннотация: When selenocysteine (Sec) tRNA[Ser]Sec was originally discovered, it was proposed to be the first nonsense suppressor tRNA found in mammalian and avian tissues, since it exclusively decoded the nonsense codon, UGA, which normally dictates the cessation of protein synthesis. This tRNA was subsequently shown to be Sec tRNA, which inserted Sec into protein as the 21st proteinogenic amino acid. Once it was established that this tRNA was aminoacylated with serine by seryl-tRNA synthetase and served as the scaffold for Sec synthesis, Sec tRNA was appropriately named Sec tRNA[Ser]Sec. The mammalian Sec-tRNA[Ser]Sec population consists of two isoforms that differ from each other by a single 2′-O-methyl moiety on the uridine at position 34, designated Um34. The non-Um34 isoform is involved in the synthesis of a subclass of selenoproteins, called housekeeping selenoproteins, while the Um34 isoform supports synthesis of stress-related selenoproteins. These novel functions and other unique features of Sec tRNA are the subjects of this chapter, supporting the idea that this tRNA is the quintessential constituent in selenoprotein biosynthesis.
