Translational Selection Is Ubiquitous in Prokaryotes
Codon usage bias in prokaryotic genomes is largely a consequence of background substitution patterns in DNA, but highly expressed genes may show a preference towards codons that enable more efficient and/or accurate translation. We introduce a novel approach based on supervised machine learning that detects effects of translational selection on genes, while controlling for local variation in nu...
متن کاملTranslational Repression in Malaria Sporozoites
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals. It is caused by the parasitic protozoan, Plasmodium. Sporozoites, the infectious form of malaria parasites, are quiescent when they remain in the salivary glands of the Anopheles mosquito until transmission into a mammalian host. Metamorphosis of the dormant sporozoite to its active form in the liver stage requires tran...
متن کاملTranslational repression by deadenylases.
The CCR4-CAF1-NOT complex is a major cytoplasmic deadenylation complex in yeast and mammals. This complex associates with RNA-binding proteins and microRNAs to repress translation of target mRNAs. We sought to determine how CCR4 and CAF1 participate in repression and control of maternal mRNAs using Xenopus laevis oocytes. We show that Xenopus CCR4 and CAF1 enzymes are active deadenylases and re...
متن کاملInvestigating translational repression by microRNAs in Arabidopsis.
Regulation of gene expression by microRNAs (miRNAs) is an important facet of many developmental and physiological processes in both plants and animals. miRNAs are small (;20 to 24 nucleotides) RNAs that recognize target genes based on sequence complementarity and typically act to repress expression of the target gene, either through cleavage of the target mRNA or translational repression indepe...
متن کاملHow do miRNAs mediate translational repression?
Micro(mi)RNAs regulate gene expression by what are believed to be related but separate mechanistic processes. The relative contribution that each process plays, their mechanistic overlap, and the degree by which they regulate complex genetic networks is still being unraveled. One process by which miRNAs inhibit gene expression occurs through translational repression. In recent years, there has ...
