Abstract
Selenocysteine (Sec) metabolism is crucial for cellular function and ferroptosis prevention and begins with the uptake of the Sec carrier, selenoprotein P (SELENOP). Following uptake, Sec released from SELENOP is metabolized via selenocysteine lyase (SCLY), producing selenide, a substrate for selenophosphate synthetase 2 (SEPHS2), which provides the essential selenium donor, selenophosphate (H2SePO3−), for the biosynthesis of the Sec-tRNA. Here, we discovered an alternative pathway in Sec metabolism mediated by peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6), independent of SCLY. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that PRDX6 can readily react with selenide and interact with SEPHS2, potentially acting as a selenium delivery system. Moreover, we demonstrate the functional significance of this alternative route in human cancer cells, revealing a notable association between elevated expression of PRDX6 and human MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma subtype. Our study sheds light on a previously unrecognized aspect of Sec metabolism and its implications in ferroptosis, offering further possibilities for therapeutic exploitation.
