Eight Unexpected Selenoprotein Families in ABC transport, in Organometallic Biochemistry in Clostridium difficile and other anaerobes, and in Methylmercury Biosynthesis

Abstract: A novel protein family related to mercury resistance protein MerB, which cleaves Hg-C bonds of organomercurial compounds, is a newly recognized selenoprotein, typically seen truncated in sequence databases at CU (cysteine-selenocysteine) dipeptide sites fifty residues before the true C-terminus. Inspection shows this protein occurs in a nine-gene neighborhood conserved in more than fifty bacterial species, taxonomically diverse but exclusively anaerobic, including spirochetes, deltaproteobacteria, and Gram-pos… Show more
