1. Biophysical studies of Escherichia coli Selenophosphate Synthetase and investigation of its role in the Selenocysteine biosynthesis pathway / Estudos biofísicos da Selenofosfato Sintetase de Escherichia coli e investigação de seu papel na via de biossíntese de Selenocisteínas
A principal forma biológica do selênio em vários organismos é o aminoácido Selenocisteína (Sec, U), que é incorporado em um polipeptídio emergente em códons UGA específicos. Em Escherichia coli, esta incorporação requer os genes que codificam para Seril-tRNA Sintetase (SerRS), Selenocisteína Sintase (SELA), um tRNASec específico (SELC), Selenof

2. Identificação de elementos estruturais no tRNAsecuca determinantes da ligação com proteínas / Identification of structural elements of the tRNAsecuca determining its protein binding
Em Escherichia coli a formação e incorporação do aminoácido selenocisteína é um evento cotraducional dirigido pelo códon de terminação UGA e deve se a uma complexa via de biosíntese cujas principais proteínas envolvidas são: Selenocisteína sintase (SELA), Fator de elongação de selenocisteína (SELB), Selenofosfato sintetase (SELD), Seril-tRNA

3. Identification of SL addition trans-splicing acceptor sites in the internal transcribed spacer I region of pre-rRNA in Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis
Trypanosomatidae is a family of early branching eukaryotes harbouring a distinctive repertoire of gene expression strategies. Functional mature messenger RNA is generated via the trans-splicing and polyadenylation processing of constitutively transcribed polycistronic units. Recently, trans-splicing of pre-small subunit ribosomal RNA in the 5' external trans

4. Structural determination of Selenocysteine Synthase from Escherichia coli / Determinação estrutural da proteína Selenocisteína Sintase de Escherichia coli
A biossíntese do 21o. aminoácido, Selenocisteína (Sec - U), envolve uma complexa maquinaria enzimática composta, em eubactérias, pela Selenocisteína Sintase (SELA), Fator de Elongação de Selenocisteína (SELB), Selenofosfato Sintetase (SELD) e tRNA de Inserção Selenocisteína (tRNAsec). Em arqueobactérias e eucariotos existem ainda O fosforil tRNA

5. Estudos moleculares das enzimas envolvidas na biossíntese de selenocisteína em Trypanosoma brucei e Leishmania major / Molecular studies of the enzymes involved in selenocysteine synthesis in Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania major
One of the main biological forms of the selenium incorporation is the amino acid form named selenocysteine (Sec, U), which is incorporated co-translationally at the emerging new polypeptide in the specific positions at the UGA codon, that is usually recognized as stop codon. The incorporation of the selenocysteine in E.coli is already solved with the involve

6. Estudos moleculares da Selenocisteína Sintase (SELA) de Escherichia coli.
The study of translation processes attracts the interest of a wide range of research groups due to its main role in general cellular metabolism. In particular, the investigation of new amino acid residues, such as selenocysteine and pyrrolysin, which result in an expansion of the genetic code from the traditional 20 residues to a total of 22 residues up to t

7. Early embryonic lethality caused by targeted disruption of the mouse selenocysteine tRNA gene (Trsp)
Selenoprotein biosynthesis is mediated by tRNASec, which inserts selenocysteine at UGA codons in a complex, context-specific manner. This opal suppressor serves in the conversion of serine to selenocysteine as well. The mouse tRNASec gene (Trsp) maps to a proximal segment of chromosome 7. We constructed mice carrying a targeted deletion of the Trsp gene. The

8. Genes coding for the selenocysteine-inserting tRNA species from Desulfomicrobium baculatum and Clostridium thermoaceticum: structural and evolutionary implications.
The genes (selC) coding for the selenocysteine-inserting tRNA species (tRNA(Sec)) from Clostridium thermoaceticum and Desulfomicrobium baculatum were cloned and sequenced. Although they differ in numerous positions from the sequence of the Escherichia coli selC gene, they were able to complement the selC lesion of an E. coli mutant and to promote selenoprote

9. Base modification pattern at the wobble position of Xenopus selenocysteine tRNA(Sec).
We examined the base modification pattern of Xenopus tRNA(Sec) using microinjection into Xenopus oocytes, with particular focus on the wobble base U34 at the first position of the anticodon. We found that U34 becomes modified to mcm5U34 (5-methylcarboxymethyluridine) in the oocyte cytoplasm in a rather complex manner. When the tRNA(Sec) gene is injected into

10. A dynamic competition between release factor 2 and the tRNASec decoding UGA at the recoding site of Escherichia coli formate dehydrogenase H
Factors affecting competition between termination and elongation in vivo during translation of the fdhF selenocysteine recoding site (UGA) were studied with wild-type and modified fdhF sequences. Altering sequences surrounding the recoding site UGA without affecting RNA secondary structure indicated that the kinetics of stop signal decoding have a significan

11. Transcription factors required for the expression of Xenopus laevis selenocysteine tRNA in vitro.
It has previously been reported that transcription in vivo of the tRNA(Sec) gene requires three promoter elements, a PSE and a TATA-box upstream of the coding region which are functionally interchangeable with the U6 snRNA gene counterparts and an internal B-block, resembling that of classical tRNA genes (1). We have established an in vitro transcription sys

12. Staf, a novel zinc finger protein that activates the RNA polymerase III promoter of the selenocysteine tRNA gene.
The selenocysteine tRNA gene (tRNA(Sec)) is atypical. Though transcribed by RNA polymerase III like all other tRNA genes, its basal promoter elements are distinct and reside essentially upstream of the coding region. In addition, transcription from the basal promoter is activated by a 15 bp activator element. In this report we describe the cloning and functi
