Codon reassignment (codon capture) in evolution
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1989The genetic code, once thought to be "frozen," shows variations from the universal code. Variations are found in mitochondria, Mycoplasma, and ciliated protozoa. The variations result from reassignment of codons, especially stop codons. The reassignments take place by disappearance of a codon from coding sequences, followed by its reappearance in a new

Experientia, 1990
The analysis of coding sequences reveals nonrandomness in the context of both sense and stop codons. Part of this is related to nucleotide doublet preference, seen also in non-coding sequences and thought to arise from the dependence of mutational events on surrounding sequence.

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1995
Schultz and Yarus (J. Mol. Biol. 235:1377-1380, 1994) have proposed that reassignment of codons in the genetic code passes through a stage in which the codons are ambiguously translated. In contrast we state that such ambiguity would be deleterious, and that, to be reassigned, a codon, together with the tRNA that translates the codon, must first ...

Codon bias from minimization of codon–anticodon interaction
Biosystems, 2016Inequalities between codon usage probabilities for quartets of codons are derived using a minimum principle for codon-anticodon interaction and a probability sum rule in the framework of the Crystal Basis Model of the genetic code. Performing this study separately for the Early and for the Eukaryotic Genetic Code, we observe a consistency in the ...

Computational Biology and Chemistry, 2007
We develop here an analytical evolution model based on a trinucleotide mutation matrix 64x64 with nine substitution parameters associated with the three types of substitutions in the three trinucleotide sites and with non-zero elements on its main diagonal.

Origins of life and evolution of the biosphere, 1999
Several hypotheses on the origin of codon assignments imply that the present protein synthesizing machinery was already in place when the assignments were made. These are examined by computer modeling. The results do not suggest that assignments were optimized for resistance to reading and mutation errors, nor that the assignments are random.

Tandem Stop Codons in Ciliates That Reassign Stop Codons
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2009Tandem stop codons are extra stop codons hypothesized to be present downstream of genes to act as a backup in case of read-through of the real stop codon. Although seemingly absent from Escherichia coli, recent studies have confirmed the presence of such codons in yeast.

Writing Scrapie's Coda, Codon by Codon?
Science, 2000Over the past decade, geneticists have found that different variations, or polymorphisms, in the gene coding for PrP--a cellular protein that many scientists believe becomes infectious when it converts to an abnormal form called a prion--seem to confer varying degrees of susceptibility to scrapie.

Codon optimizer: a freeware tool for codon optimization
Protein Expression and Purification, 2003Selection plays a major role in the determination of codon usage in all organisms studied so far. In highly expressed genes, a narrow set of codons is used and these codons correspond to the more abundant tRNA species. This minimizes the risk of tRNA depletion during translation.
