Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microbial production of 1,3‐butanediol (1,3‐BDO) offers a renewable route to this versatile C4 chemical. However, the low performance of CoA‐acylating butyraldehyde dehydrogenase (Bld), which contains a catalytic cysteine, limits efficient production in recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli).

BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background Synonymous mutations do not change amino acids but do sometimes change the tRNAs (anticodons) that decode a particular codon. An isoaccepting codon is a synonymous codon that shares the same tRNA.

Maximizing Transcription Efficiency Causes Codon Usage Bias
Genetics, 1996 Abstract The rate of protein synthesis depends on both the rate of initiation of translation and the rate of elongation of the peptide chain. The rate of initiation depends on the encountering rate between ribosomes and mRNA; this rate in turn depends on the concentration of ribosomes and mRNA. Thus, patterns of codon usage that increase

Genetically Programmed Control of Overflow Metabolism
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Overflow metabolism is a highly undesirable phenomenon that occurs in virtually all cell factories. Although several schemes have been applied to avoid overflow metabolism, this problem remains far from being solved. In this study, a genetic sensor for detecting overflow metabolism was designed, and its substrate specificity and reversibility ...

Measurement of average decoding rates of the 61 sense codons in vivo
eLife, 2014 Most amino acids can be encoded by several synonymous codons, which are used at unequal frequencies. The significance of unequal codon usage remains unclear. One hypothesis is that frequent codons are translated relatively rapidly.

Engineered B7‐H3 Binding in Modular Gp2 Miniproteins
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT B7‐H3, an important immune checkpoint modulator of T‐cell function, is a tumor vasculature biomarker and is overexpressed in a variety of cancers. Its expression is associated with tumor growth, metastasis, and poor clinical prognosis, which makes B7‐H3 an appealing target for diagnostics and therapeutics.

Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

The Mystery of Two Straight Lines in Bacterial Genome Statistics. Release 2007
, 2007 In special coordinates (codon position--specific nucleotide frequencies) bacterial genomes form two straight lines in 9-dimensional space: one line for eubacterial genomes, another for archaeal genomes. All the 348 distinct bacterial genomes available in

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.
