Abstract:

The first confirmed selenoprotein in the plant kingdom was studied. The mass of the whole protein was measured by MALDI on the Manitoba QqTOf instrument. The crucial codon UGA was found in the nucleic acid sequence, which predicted a protein of 201 amino acid residues. The b18 ion had a normal isotopic distribution, whereas the distribution for b19 was anomalous. It is observed that both the overall mass measurements and the MS/MS data indicated truncation at the N-terminus, most commonly a deletion of the first 27 residues.
