Different stop codon usage in two pseudohypotrich ciliates.
Based on rRNA phylogeny, morphologic and morphogenetic characters, two major groups of hypotrich ciliates can be distinguished: euhypotrichs and pseudohypotrichs. Through the sequencing of actin genes, we show here that, interestingly, the pseudohypotrichs Dyophrys sp. and Euplotes vannus have a different stop codon usage. In fact, the stop codon usage of the former species resembles that of eu...
متن کاملStop codon recognition in ciliates: Euplotes release factor does not respond to reassigned UGA codon.
In eukaryotes, the polypeptide release factor 1 (eRF1) is involved in translation termination at all three stop codons. However, the mechanism for decoding stop codons remains unknown. A direct interaction of eRF1 with the stop codons has been postulated. Recent studies focus on eRF1 from ciliates in which some stop codons are reassigned to sense codons. Using an in vitro assay based on mammali...
متن کاملConsequences of stop codon reassignment on protein evolution in ciliates with alternative genetic codes.
Tetrahymena thermophila and Paramecium tetraurelia are ciliates that reassign TAA and TAG from stop codons to glutamine codons. Because of the lack of full genome sequences, few studies have concentrated on analyzing the effects of codon reassignment in protein evolution. We used the recently sequenced genome of these species to analyze the patterns of amino acid substitution in ciliates that r...
متن کاملSynonymous codon usage patterns in different parasitic platyhelminth mitochondrial genomes.
We analyzed synonymous codon usage patterns of the mitochondrial genomes of 43 parasitic platyhelminth species. The relative synonymous codon usage, the effective number of codons (NC) and the frequency of G+C at the third synonymously variable coding position were calculated. Correspondence analysis was used to determine the major variation trends shaping the codon usage patterns. Among the mi...
متن کاملCoevolution between Stop Codon Usage and Release Factors in Bacterial Species
Three stop codons in bacteria represent different translation termination signals, and their usage is expected to depend on their differences in translation termination efficiency, mutation bias, and relative abundance of release factors (RF1 decoding UAA and UAG, and RF2 decoding UAA and UGA). In 14 bacterial species (covering Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Cyanobacteria, Actinobacteria and Spiro...
