Codon usage and secondary structure of MS2 phage RNA.
MS2 is an RNA bacteriophage (3569 bases). The secondary structure of the RNA has been determined, and is known to play an important role in regulating translation. Paired regions of the genome have a higher G+C content than unpaired regions. It has been suggested that this reflects selection for high G+C content to encourage pairing, but a re-analysis of the data together with computer simulati...
متن کاملRNA folding kinetics regulates translation of phage MS2 maturation gene.
The gene for the maturation protein of the single-stranded RNA coliphage MS2 is preceded by an untranslated leader of 130 nt, which folds into a cloverleaf, i.e., three stem-loop structures enclosed by a long distance interaction (LDI). This LDI prevents translation because its 3' moiety contains the Shine-Dalgarno sequence of the maturation gene. Previously, several observations suggested that...

Evidence has been presented' for the accumulation of a double-stranded replicative form of MS2 RNA in vivo, following infection of Escherichia coli with MS2 phage, and for the identity of this material with the double-stranded RNA which is labeled in vitro with radioactive carbon2 on incubation of CL4-labeled ribonucleoside triphosphates with RNA synthetase.3 The present paper is concerned with...

متن کاملCauses and Implications of Codon Usage Bias in RNA Viruses
Choice of synonymous codons depends on nucleotide/dinucleotide composition of the genome (termed mutational pressure) and relative abundance of tRNAs in a cell (translational pressure). Mutational pressure is commonly simplified to genomic GC content; however mononucleotide and dinucleotide frequencies in different genomes or mRNAs may vary significantly, especially in RNA viruses. A series of ...
