Selenoprotein O is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SELENOO gene. [5]

Contents

Function

This gene encodes a selenoprotein, pseudokinase selenoprotein-O(SelO), that is localized to the mitochondria. It is the largest mammalian selenoprotein, containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec). Sec is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon, rather than as a stop signal. The SELO protein Adenylates proteins involved in redox homeostasis. As a result this Selenoprotein is thought to be necessary for the cellular response to oxidative stress. [6]

Tribbles homolog 2 is an atypical protein kinase that is encoded in human by the TRIB2 gene. TRIB2 is a pseudokinase member of the (pseudoenzyme) class of signaling/scaffold proteins, possessing very low vestigial catalytic output in vitro and critical scaffolding signaling functions in cells. It is known to signal to canonical MAPK and AKT pathways and to regulate the ubiquitination of substrates with important functions in cell proliferation that control the cell ccyle. It has also been associated with various diseases, especially in human and murine blood and solid tumor models. Like TRIB1 and TRIB3, TRIB2 has recently been considered as a potential allosteric drug target, and its three dimensional structure has been solved with the aid of stabilizing nanobodies corroborating the potential for new approaches for drug targeting outside the highly degraded ATP site and is a putative regulator of cancer-associated signalling and survival through AKT pSer473 modulation. Recent work has established a convincing link between targetable overexpression of TRIB2 and prostate cancer drug responses
