Abstract: To date the only tRNAs containing nucleosides modified with a selenium (5‐carboxymethylaminomethyl‐2‐selenouridine and 5‐methylaminomethyl‐2‐selenouridine) have been found in bacteria. By using tRNA anticodon‐stem‐loop fragments containing S2U, Se2U, or geS2U, we found that in vitro tRNA… read more here.

Abstract: The 5-substituted 2-selenouridines are natural components of the bacterial tRNA epitranscriptome. Because selenium-containing biomolecules are redox-active entities, the oxidation susceptibility of 2-selenouridine (Se2U) was studied in the presence of hydrogen peroxide under various conditions and… read more here.
