Cloning of a cDNA for the Type II Iodothyronine Deiodinase
Open accessAbstract
Three types of iodothyronine deiodinase have been identified in vertebrate tissues. cDNAs for the types I and III have been cloned and shown to contain an inframe TGA that codes for selenocysteine at the active site of the enzyme. We now report the cloning of a cDNA for a type II deiodinase using a reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction strategy and RNA obtained from Rana catesbeiana tissues. This cDNA (RC5'DII) manifests limited but significant homology with other deiodinase cDNAs and contains a conserved in-frame TGA codon. Injection of capped in vitro synthesized transcripts of the cDNA into Xenopus laevis oocytes results in the induction of deiodinase activity with characteristics typical of a type II deiodinase. The levels of RC5'DII transcripts in R. catesbeiana tadpole tail and liver mRNA at stages XII and XXIII correspond well with that of type II deiodinase activity but not that of the type III activity in these tissues. These findings indicate that the amphibian type II 5'-deiodinase is a structurally unique member of the family of selenocysteine-containing deiodinases.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
