Prokaryotic Selenoproteins and Selenoproteomes

Selenium

Abstract

The essential micronutrient selenium is known to be used in a variety of biological processes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The major biological form of selenium is selenocysteine, which is co-translationally inserted into selenoproteins. In the past decade, bioinformatics tools have been successfully developed to identify all, or almost all, selenoprotein genes in sequenced genomes. This chapter provides general information about currently known prokaryotic selenoprotein families and their major functions. In addition, recent comparative analyses of selenocysteine utilization and selenoproteomes across large groups of species offer important insights into evolutionary trends of different selenoprotein families and key factors that may influence selenoprotein evolution in prokaryotes.
