Se-content of SELENOP in relation to G418 and supplemental selenite. (A) The protein fraction of conditioned media from HepG2 cells was immobilized on a nitrocellulose membrane before and after immuno-precipitation of SELENOP (SEPP -IP). The SELENOP-IP procedure efficiently removed SELENOP (SEPP1), and with it all the detectable Se from the culture medium. (B) Supplemental selenite and G418 increased immuno-detectable SELENOP (SEPP1). (C) Se content of SELENOP preparations varied strongly between the different incubation conditions. (D) A comparison of the Se/SELENOP (Se/SEPP1) ratio indicates that G418 induces Sec-free SELENOP variants, whereas selenite increased the Se content of SELENOP in the presence of G418.
