# Many **Published by:** [Kittyzcac](https://paragraph.com/@kittyzcac/) **Published on:** 2021-10-28 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@kittyzcac/many ## Content Most of these selenoproteins were redox proteins, which used Sec either to coordinate redox-active metals or for thiol/disulfide-based redox catalysis. Moreover, among 24 selenoprotein families detected in the symbionts’ metagenomic dataset, at least 17 (67 sequences, 81.7%) were homologs of known thiol oxidoreductases or possessed Trx-like fold (Table 1). Many of these selenoproteins contained a conserved UxxC/UxxS/CxxU/TxxU redox motif. ## Publication Information - [Kittyzcac](https://paragraph.com/@kittyzcac/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@kittyzcac/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@kittyzcac): Subscribe to updates - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Kittyzcac): Follow on Twitter
