High impact information on Sps2

This computational screen and subsequent metabolic labeling with (75)Se and characterization of selenoprotein mRNA expression resulted in identification of three selenoproteins: selenophosphate synthetase 2 and novel G-rich and BthD selenoproteins that had no homology to known proteins [1].
The open reading frame of Dsps2 mRNA is interrupted by an UGA stop codon [2].
