چکیده

Studies dating back to the 1970s established that sequence complementarity between the anti-Shine-Dalgarno (aSD) sequence on prokaryotic ribosomes and the 5' untranslated region of mRNAs helps to facilitate translation initiation. The optimal location of aSD sequence binding relative to the start codon, the full extents of the aSD sequence and the functional form of the relationship between aSD sequence complementarity and translation efficiency have not been fully resolved. Here, we investigate these relationships by leveraging the sequence diversity of endogenous genes and recently available genome-wide estimates of translation efficiency. We show that-after accounting for predicted mRNA structure-aSD sequence complementarity increases the translation of endogenous mRNAs by roughly 50%. Further, we observe that this relationship is nonlinear, with translation efficiency maximized for mRNAs with intermediate levels of aSD sequence complementarity. The mechanistic insights that we observe are highly robust: we find nearly identical results in multiple datasets spanning three distantly related bacteria. Further, we verify our main conclusions by re-analysing a controlled experimental dataset.

Listeria Monocytogenes La111 and Klebsiella Pneumoniae KCTC 2242: Shine-Dalgarno Sequences

Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious infection and recently, relapse of listeriosis has been reported in leukemia and colorectal cancer, and the patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae are at increased risk of colorectal cancer. Translation initiation codon recognition is basically mediated by Shine-Dalgarno (SD) and the anti-SD sequences at the small ribosomal RNA (ssu rRNA). In this research,...

Depletion of Shine-Dalgarno Sequences Within Bacterial Coding Regions Is Expression Dependent

Efficient and accurate protein synthesis is crucial for organismal survival in competitive environments. Translation efficiency-the number of proteins translated from a single mRNA in a given time period-is the combined result of differential translation initiation, elongation, and termination rates. Previous research identified the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence as a modulator of translation ini...

Local Absence of Secondary Structure Permits Translation of mRNAs that Lack Ribosome-Binding Sites

The initiation of translation is a fundamental and highly regulated process in gene expression. Translation initiation in prokaryotic systems usually requires interaction between the ribosome and an mRNA sequence upstream of the initiation codon, the so-called ribosome-binding site (Shine-Dalgarno sequence). However, a large number of genes do not possess Shine-Dalgarno sequences, and it is unk...

Analysis of the role of the Shine-Dalgarno sequence and mRNA secondary structure on the efficiency of translational initiation in the Euglena gracilis chloroplast atpH mRNA.

Chloroplast mRNAs in Euglena gracilis fall into two classes. One class has a Shine-Dalgarno sequence 5' to the AUG start codon while the other group of mRNAs does not have any conserved sequence elements near the start codon. The chloroplast mRNA encoding the atpH gene has been selected as an example of a message which has a Shine-Dalgarno sequence (GGAGUU) located in the initiation region. Mut...
