摘要

Selenoprotein biosynthesis is mediated by tRNA~Sec, 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 tRNA~Sec gene (Trsp) maps to a proximal segment of chromosome 7. We constructed mice carrying a targeted deletion of the Trsp gene. The heterozygous mutants were viable, fertile, and appeared normal. Although the level of tRNA~Sec was reduced to about 50/100-80/100 of the wild type in most organs, one of the selenoproteins, glutathione peroxi- dase, remained unaffected in the levels of its mRNA, protein, and enzyme activity, indicating that the haploid amount of tRNA~Sec is not limiting in its biosynthesis.
