Three Tetrahymena tRNA(Gln) isoacceptors as tools for studying unorthodox codon recognition and codon context effects during protein synthesis in vitro.
Three glutamine tRNA isoacceptors are known in Tetrahymena thermophila. One of these has the anticodon UmUG which reads the two normal glutamine codons CAA and CAG, whereas the two others with CUA and UmUA anticodons recognize UAG and UAA, respectively, which serve as termination codons in other organisms. We have employed these tRNA(Gln)-isoacceptors as tools for studying unconventional base i...
متن کاملCodon Recognition
Isoacceptors of Physarum polycephalum Ala-, Arg-, Glu-, Gln-, Gly-, Ile-, Leu-, Lys-, Ser-, Thr-, and Val-tRNAs were resolved by reverse-phase chromatography and isolated, and their codon recognition properties were determined in a ribosomal binding assay. Codon assignments were made to most isoacceptors, and they are summarized along with those determined in other studies from Escherichia coli...
متن کاملCodon-acticodon recognition in the valine codon family.
An in vitro protein-synthesizing system completely dependent on added valine tRNA (valyl-tRNAval) and programmed with RNA from the phage MS2 has been used to investigate the incorporation into MS2 coat protein of valine from isoaccepting valyl-tRNAsval with the anticodons U AC (U represents 5-oxyacetic acid uridine monophosphate), GAC, and IAC in response to the four valine codons GUU, GUC, GUA...
متن کاملThe Effects of Codon Context on In Vivo Translation Speed
We developed a bacterial genetic system based on translation of the his operon leader peptide gene to determine the relative speed at which the ribosome reads single or multiple codons in vivo. Low frequency effects of so-called "silent" codon changes and codon neighbor (context) effects could be measured using this assay. An advantage of this system is that translation speed is unaffected by t...
متن کاملCodon adaptation index as a measure of dominating codon bias
UNLABELLED We propose a simple algorithm to detect dominating synonymous codon usage bias in genomes. The algorithm is based on a precise mathematical formulation of the problem that lead us to use the Codon Adaptation Index (CAI) as a 'universal' measure of codon bias. This measure has been previously employed in the specific context of translational bias. With the set of coding sequences as a...
