Selection on codon bias in yeast: a transcriptional hypothesis
Codons that code for the same amino acid are often used with unequal frequencies. This phenomenon is termed codon bias. Here, we report a computational analysis of codon bias in yeast using experimental and theoretical genome-wide data. We show that the most used codons in highly expressed genes can be predicted by mRNA structural data and that the codon choice at each synonymous site within an...
متن کاملSelection on codon bias.
In a wide variety of organisms, synonymous codons are used with different frequencies, a phenomenon known as codon bias. Population genetic studies have shown that synonymous sites are under weak selection and that codon bias is maintained by a balance between selection, mutation, and genetic drift. It appears that the major cause for selection on codon bias is that certain preferred codons are...
متن کاملSelection intensity for codon bias.
The patterns of nonrandom usage of synonymous codons (codon bias) in enteric bacteria were analyzed. Poisson random field (PRF) theory was used to derive the expected distribution of frequencies of nucleotides differing from the ancestral state at aligned sites in a set of DNA sequences. This distribution was applied to synonymous nucleotide polymorphisms and amino acid polymorphisms in the gnd...
متن کاملNRAS Codon 61 Selection in Melanoma
showed enhanced nucleotide binding, decreased intrinsic GTPase activity, and increased stability when compared with Nras G12D . This work identifi es a faithful model of human NRAS -mutant melanoma, and suggests that the increased melanomagenecity of Nras Q61R over Nras G12D is due to heightened abundance of the active, GTP-bound form rather than differences in the engagement of downstream effe...
متن کاملSelection on Codon Usage in Drosophila americana
Synonymous codons are not used at random, significantly influencing the base composition of the genome. The selection-mutation-drift model proposes that this bias reflects natural selection in favor of a subset of preferred codons. Previous estimates in Drosophila of the intensity of selective forces involved seem too large to be reconciled with theoretical predictions of the level of codon bia...
