Identifying protein-coding genes and synonymous constraint elements using phylogenetic codon models
We develop novel methods for comparative genomics analysis of protein-coding genes using phylogenetic codon models, in pursuit of two main lines of biological investigation: First, we develop PhyloCSF, an algorithm based on empirical phylogenetic codon models to distinguish protein-coding and non-coding regions in multi-species genome alignments. We benchmark PhyloCSF to show that it outperform...
متن کاملSynonymous Codon Substitution Matrices
Observing differences between DNA or protein sequences and estimating the true amount of substitutions from them is a prominent problem in molecular evolution as many analyses are based on distance measures between biological sequences. Since the relationship between the observed and the actual amount of mutations is very complex, more than four decades of research have been spent to improve mo...
متن کاملSynonymous codon usage influences the local protein structure observed
Translation of mRNA into protein is a unidirectional information flow process. Analysing the input (mRNA) and output (protein) of translation, we find that local protein structure information is encoded in the mRNA nucleotide sequence. The Coding Sequence and Structure (CSandS) database developed in this work provides a detailed mapping between over 4000 solved protein structures and their mRNA...
متن کاملSpecific protein binding to a conserved region of the ornithine decarboxylase mRNA 5'-untranslated region.
An RNA gel retardation assay was used to identify one or more cellular protein(s) (ornithine decarboxylase mRNA 5'-UTR binding protein (ODCBP)) that bind specifically to a conserved region of the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of rat ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) mRNA. Ultraviolet light cross-linking demonstrated that this protein has an apparent Mr = 58,000 in mammalian cells. Treatment with ...
متن کاملSynonymous codon usage in bacteria.
In most bacteria, synonymous codons are not used with equal frequencies. Different factors have been proposed to contribute to codon usage preference, including translational selection, GC composition, strand-specific mutational bias, amino acid conservation, protein hydropathy, transcriptional selection and even RNA stability. The review discusses these factors and their contribution to bias i...
