Intein-based Design Expands Diversity of Selenocysteine Reporters

Christina Z. Chung et al.

Summary: The presence of selenocysteine in a protein provides unique properties and makes the production of recombinant selenoproteins desirable. This study presents a versatile strategy using intein-containing reporters to screen for evolved components of a translation system yielding increased selenoprotein amounts. The results obtained with intein-containing reporters are comparable to the Sec incorporation levels determined by mass spectrometry.

The Role and Mechanism of Essential Selenoproteins for Homeostasis

Ruihua Ye et al.

Summary: Selenium is an essential trace element that plays a vital biological role in the body through selenoproteins. Selenoproteins are involved in various biological processes such as oxidative stress regulation, immune response, and antioxidant defense. Both deficiency and excess selenium can cause damage to the body. Selenium intake is mainly through dietary supplements. This paper reviews the synthesis and mechanism of selenoproteins, as well as their role and mechanism in disease regulation, and prospects the future development of selenium-enriched products.

Uncovering translation roadblocks during the development of a synthetic tRNA

Arjun Prabhakar et al.

Summary: Ribosomes are flexible in accepting diverse aminoacyl-tRNA substrates, which is critical for using orthogonal translation systems for genetic code expansion. In this study, the researchers investigated the translation of allo-tRNA(UTu1) on the ribosome and identified a tertiary interaction preventing translocation. By disrupting this interaction through a single-nucleotide mutation, they relieved the translation roadblock and optimized translation.

Structure of the mammalian ribosome as it decodes the selenocysteine UGA codon

Tarek Hilal et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism of Sec UGA recoding in eukaryotes and found that it is different from the mechanism in bacteria. Cryo-electron microscopy was used to visualize a complex consisting of the noncoding Sec-insertion sequence (SECIS), SECIS-binding protein 2 (SBP2), and the 40S ribosomal subunit, which enables the Sec-specific elongation factor eEFSec to deliver Sec. Additionally, the ribosomal protein eS31 plays a role in connecting the Sec-specific transfer RNA (tRNASec) and SBP2.

The selenocysteine toolbox: A guide to studying the 21st amino acid

Christina Z. Chung et al.

Summary: Selenocysteine, the 21st genetically encoded amino acid, shares structural similarity with cysteine and has similar chemical properties. It plays important roles in cellular maintenance, immune response, and other functions, but its detailed reactions are still unclear. Significant progress has been made in the development of tools and techniques for selenoprotein research in the past two decades.

Genetic Encoding of Three Distinct Noncanonical Amino Acids Using Reprogrammed Initiator and Nonsense Codons

Jeffery M. Tharp et al.

Summary: In this study, a mutant tRNA was engineered to initiate translation at the UAU tyrosine codon efficiently. By utilizing a specific tRNA system, UAU was reassigned to selectively encode distinct ncAAs, showcasing the potential applications of this system. Additionally, a triply orthogonal system was developed to produce proteins containing three distinct ncAAs at defined sites, demonstrating the versatility and utility of the approach.

Genetic Code Expansion: A Brief History and Perspective

Mia A. Shandell et al.

Summary: Biochemists have been working on fine-tuning the chemical properties of proteins to address fundamental mechanistic questions since the establishment of site-specific mutagenesis in the 1970s. Unnatural amino acid technology allows for expanding beyond the 20 naturally occurring amino acids and installing new useful chemical functions.
