Abstract: The Gram-negative genus Kangiella contains a number of halophilic species that display high levels of iso-branched fatty acids. Kangiella spongicola was isolated from a marine sponge, Chondrilla nucula, from the Florida Keys in the United States.

Background: In animals, the 21st amino acid selenocysteine is incorporated into a restricted subset of proteins by recoding of a UGA stop codon. This recoding requires a distinctive selenocysteine insertion sequence in selenoprotein encoding mRNAs, trans-acting factors and in most cases, adequate dietary intake of selenium. With one exception, selenoproteins contain a single selenocysteine, which is incorporated with low translational efficiency. The exception is selenoprotein P, which in some species is predicted to contain as many as 132 selenocysteines and which is considered to play roles in selenium transport and storage. Objective: This study aimed to develop comparative physiological and evolutionary perspectives on the function(s) of selenoprotein P. Method: The review of the literature on the roles of selenoprotein P in diverse animals. Results: Selenoprotein P contains multiple selenocysteines, making it energetically costly to produce. Furthermore, it is often associated with detrimental effects to the animals that produce it. Possible benefits that outweigh these costs include the general storage and transport of selenium; the transport of both toxic and useful metal ions; and specific functions in reproduction and in the nervous system. Conclusion: A probable reconciliation of the negative effects of producing Selenoprotein P is its benefit in terms of promoting reproductive success.
