Some evidence of the enzymatic conversion of bovine suppressor phosphoseryl‐tRNA to selenocysteyl‐tRNA

Abstract

In order to clarify the mechanisms of selenocysteine incorporation into glutathione peroxidase, some evidence to show the in vitro conversion of phosphoseryl‐tRNA to selenocysteyl‐tRNA is reported. [3H]Phosphoseryl‐tRNA was incubated in a reaction mixture composed of SeO2, glutathione and NADPH in the presence of selenium‐transferase partially purified. Analyses of amino acids on the product tRNA showed that a part (4%) of [3H]phosphoseryl‐tRNA was changed to [3H]selenocysteyl‐tRNA. The conversion from seryl‐tRNAsu or major seryl‐tRNAIGA was not found. Selenium‐transferase was essential for the conversion. [3H]Selenocysteine, liberated from the tRNA, was modified with iodoacetic acid. The product was confirmed to be carboxymethyl‐selenocysteine by two‐dimensional TLC. Selenocysteyl‐tRNAsu should be used to synthesize glutathione peroxidase by co‐translational mechanisms.
