概要 Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death induced by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides. Selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) suppresses ferroptosis by detoxifying lipid hydroperoxides via a catalytic selenocysteine (Sec) residue. Sec, the genetically encoded 21(st) amino acid, is biosynthesized from a reactive selenium donor on its cognate tRNA([Ser]Sec). It is thought that intracellular selenium must be delivered 'safely' and 'efficiently' by a carrier protein owing to its high reactivity and very low concentrations. Here, we identified peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) as a novel selenoprotein synthesis factor. Loss of PRDX6 decreases the expression of selenoproteins and induces ferroptosis via a reduction in GPX4. Mechanistically, PRDX6 increases the efficiency of intracellular selenium utilization by transferring selenium between proteins within the selenocysteyl-tRNA([Ser]Sec) synthesis machinery, leading to efficient synthesis of selenocysteyl-tRNA([Ser]Sec). These findings highlight previously unidentified selenium metabolic systems and provide new insights into ferroptosis.
