Recoding UAG to selenocysteine in<i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Unique chemical and physical properties are introduced by inserting selenocysteine (Sec) at specific sites within proteins. Recombinant and facile production of eukaryotic selenoproteins would benefit from a yeast expression system; however, the selenoprotein biosynthetic pathway was lost in the evolution of the kingdom Fungi as it diverged from its eukaryotic relatives. Based on our previous development of efficient selenoprotein production in bacteria, we designed a novel Sec biosynthesis pathway inSaccharomyces cerevisiaeusingAeromonas salmonicidatranslation components.S. cerevisiaetRNASerwas mutated to resembleA. salmonicidatRNASecto allow recognition byS. cerevisiaeseryl-tRNA synthetase as well asA. salmonicidaselenocysteine synthase (SelA) and selenophosphate synthetase (SelD). Expression of these Sec pathway components was then combined with metabolic engineering of yeast to enable the production of active methionine sulfate reductase enzyme containing genetically encoded Sec. Our report is the first demonstration that yeast is capable of selenoprotein production by site-specific incorporation of Sec.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
