Seryl-tRNA in mammalian tissues: chromatographic differences in brain and liver and a specific response to the codon, UGA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Termination of translation in bacteria may be modulated via specific interaction between peptide chain release factor 2 and the last peptidyl-tRNA(Ser/Phe).
The 5' context of 671 Escherichia coli stop codons UGA and UAA has been compared with the context of stop-like codons (UAC, UAU and CAA for UAA; UGG, UGC, UGU and CGA for UGA). We have observed highly significant deviations from the expected nucleotide distribution: adenine is over-represented whereas pyrimidines are under-represented in position -2 upstream from UAA. Uridine is over-represente...
متن کاملInvestigation of Escherichia coli Selenocysteine Synthase (SelA) Complex Formation Using Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM)
Incorporation of selenocysteine (Sec U) into proteins is directed by a in-frame UGA codon in all domains of life. In Bacteria, Sec biosynthesis and incorporation involves the interaction of Selenocysteine Synthase (SelA), tRNA (SelC or tRNA Sec ), Selenophosphate Synthetase (SPS), a specific elongation factor known as SelB and the specific mRNA structure SElenocysteine Insertion Sequence (SECIS...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of phosphoseryl-tRNA[Ser]Sec kinase.
In 1970, a kinase activity that phosphorylated a minor species of seryl-tRNA to form phosphoseryl-tRNA was found in rooster liver [Maenpaa, P. H. & Bernfield, M. R. (1970) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 67, 688-695], and a minor seryl-tRNA that decoded the nonsense UGA was detected in bovine liver. The phosphoseryl-tRNA and the minor UGA-decoding seryl-tRNA were subsequently identified as selenocys...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Selenocysteine on Its tRNA in Eukaryotes
Selenocysteine (Sec) is cotranslationally inserted into protein in response to UGA codons and is the 21st amino acid in the genetic code. However, the means by which Sec is synthesized in eukaryotes is not known. Herein, comparative genomics and experimental analyses revealed that the mammalian Sec synthase (SecS) is the previously identified pyridoxal phosphate-containing protein known as the ...
متن کاملTargeted insertion of cysteine by decoding UGA codons with mammalian selenocysteine machinery.
Cysteine (Cys) is inserted into proteins in response to UGC and UGU codons. Herein, we show that supplementation of mammalian cells with thiophosphate led to targeted insertion of Cys at the UGA codon of thioredoxin reductase 1 (TR1). This Cys was synthesized by selenocysteine (Sec) synthase on tRNA([Ser]Sec) and its insertion was dependent on the Sec insertion sequence element in the 3'UTR of ...
