Active bovine selenophosphate synthetase 2, not having selenocysteine.
During the course of studying selenocysteine (Sec) synthesis mechanisms in mammals, we prepared selenophosphate synthetase (SPS) from bovine liver by 4-step chromatography. In the last step of chromatography of hydroxyapatite, we found a protein band of molecular mass 33 kDa on SDS-PAGE, consistent with the pattern of SPS activity that was indirectly manifested by [(75)Se]Sec production activity; however, we could not detect significant Se content in this active fraction. We also found a clear band of 33 kDa by Western blotting with antibody against a common peptide (387-401) in SPS2. We detected selenophosphate as the product of this active enzyme in the reaction mixture, composed of ATP, [(75)Se]H(2)Se and SPS. Chemically synthesized selenophosphate plays a role in Sec synthesis, not the addition of this enzyme. These results support that the product of SPS2 is selenophosphate itself. During this investigation, the probable sequence of bovine SPS2 not having Sec was reported in the blast information and the molecular mass was near with the protein in this report. Thus, bovine active SPS2 of molecular mass 33 kDa does not contain Sec.
