Enzymatic strategies for selenium incorporation into biological molecules
The trace element selenium (Se) is essential to the physiology of most organisms on the planet. The most well documented of Se's biological forms are selenoproteins, where selenocysteine often serves as the catalytic center for crucial redox processes. Se is also found in several other classes of biological molecules, including nucleic acids, sugars, and modified amino acids, although its role in the function of these metabolites is less understood. Despite its prevalence, only a small number of Se-specific biosynthetic pathways have been discovered. Around half of these were first characterized in the past three years, suggesting that the selenometabolome may be more diverse than previously appreciated. Here, we review the recent advances in our understanding of this intriguing biochemical space, and discuss prospects for future discovery efforts.
