Abstract
Selenocysteine is a valuable component of both natural selenoproteins and designer biocatalysts; however the availability of such proteins is hampered by technical limitations. Here we report the first general strategy for the production of selenoproteins via genetically-encoded incorporation of a synthetic photocaged selenocysteine residue in yeast cells, and provide examples of light-controlled protein dimerization and targeted covalent labeling in vitro.Entities:
