| Abstract |
In contrast to other trace elements that are cofactors of enzymes and removed from proteins under denaturing conditions, Se is covalently bound to proteins when incorporated into selenoproteins, since it is a component of selenocysteine aminoacid. It implies that selenoproteins can undergo several biochemical separation methods in stringent and chaotropic conditions and still maintain the presence of selenium in the primary sequence. This feature has been used to develop a method for the detection of trace levels of human selenoproteins in cell extracts without the use of radioactive isotopes. The selenoproteins are separated as a function of their isoelectric point (pI) using iso-electrofocusing (IEF) electrophoretic strips and detected by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP MS). This method, therefore referred to as IEF-LA-ICP MS, allowed the detection of several selenoproteins in human cell lines, including Gpx1, Gpx4, TXNRD1, TXNRD2, and SELENOF. |
