  The pathway to GTPase activation of elongation factor SelB on the ribosome

  The structures of several states on the pathway of SelB-mediated delivery of selenocysteine-specific tRNA to the ribosome in Escherichia coli reveal the mechanism of UGA stop codon recoding to selenocysteine and show how codon recognition triggers activation of translational GTPases.

  Crystal structures of the human elongation factor eEFSec suggest a non-canonical mechanism for selenocysteine incorporation

  Specialized translation elongation factors (eEFSec and SelB) promote selenocysteine incorporation into proteins. Here, the authors report the structure of human eEFSec, examine its interactions with guanine nucleotides, and propose a non-canonical mechanism for decoding selenocysteine.
