The human 15ku selenoprotein gene was obtained by PCR and cloned into T vector and sequenced.RESULTS: A unique cDNA fragment about 1 244 bp was obtained. Sequence analysis identified an open reading frame within the cDNA. The gene had an in-frame TGA, which encoded selenocysteine (Sec), and a 3′-UTR SECIS element,which was required for synthesis of selenoprotein. The predicted protein molecular mass was about 15ku (162residues). The result was identical with human liver 15ku selenoprotein gene published in Genbank.CONCLUSION: Human 15ku selenoprotein gene can be successfully obtained from T cell line.展开更多
