Quantifying shifts in natural selection on codon usage between protein regions: a population genetics approach

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2022
Background Codon usage bias (CUB), the non-uniform usage of synonymous codons, occurs across all domains of life. Adaptive CUB is hypothesized to result from various selective pressures, including selection for efficient ribosome elongation, accurate ...

Pattern of synonymous codon usage in three strains of human coxsackievirus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The pattern of synonymous codon usage in organisms is not displayed in a random fashion. Some codons are used more frequently than the alternative synonymous codons. This phenomenon is found across species and across genes within a genome.

Codon Usage in Prokaryotes [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2008
ABSTRACTAdvances in DNA sequencing led to accumulation of genomic data of a great number of prokaryotes belonging to different taxons. In this study we have analyzed 158 prokaryotic genomes for codon usage specificity. The latter is studied not only on the level of the whole genome (all genes) but also for three gene subsets: highly expressed genes ...

Somatic mutational landscape in von Hippel–Lindau familial hemangioblastoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The causes of central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastoma in Von Hippel–Lindau (vHL) disease are unclear. We used Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) on familial hemangioblastoma to investigate events that underlie tumor development. Our findings suggest that VHL loss creates a permissive environment for tumor formation, while additional alterations ...

Comprehensive Genomics Investigation of Neboviruses Reveals Distinct Codon Usage Patterns and Host Specificity

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Neboviruses (NeVs) from the Caliciviridae family have been linked to enteric diseases in bovines and have been detected worldwide. As viruses rely entirely on the cellular machinery of the host for replication, their ability to thrive in a specific host ...

Data in support of large scale comparative codon usage analysis in Leishmania and Trypanosomatids

open access: yesData in Brief, 2015
This data article contains data related to the article “Comparison of codon usage bias across Leishmania and Trypanosomatids to understand mRNA secondary structure, relative protein abundance and pathway functions” by Subramanian and Sarkar, Genomics ...

Proteasome inhibitor, ixazomib prevents topoisomerase‐I degradation and reverses irinotecan resistance in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Ixazomib inhibits proteasome‐mediated degradation of topoisomerase I induced by irinotecan, thereby restoring drug sensitivity and promoting tumor cell death in colorectal cancer. Irinotecan, a topoisomerase I (topoI) inhibitor, is widely used for colorectal cancer, but resistance remains a major clinical challenge.

Estimating translational selection in Eukaryotic Genomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Natural selection on codon usage is a pervasive force that acts on a large variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. Despite this, obtaining reliable estimates of selection on codon usage has proved complicated, perhaps due to the fact that the ...

HIV‐1 establishes immediate latency in T cells expressing the viral Nef protein

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Nef is a viral protein often omitted from HIV‐1 reporter viruses. Consequently, its role in viral latency is unclear. We developed three novel dual reporter HIV‐1 derivatives that express Nef and allow for detection of latent and productive infection. Using these reporters, we show that Nef does not affect the establishment of immediate viral latency ...

Analysis of 3.5 million SARS-CoV-2 sequences reveals unique mutational trends with consistent nucleotide and codon frequencies

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2023
Background Since the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, bioinformatic analyses have been performed to understand the nucleotide and synonymous codon usage features and mutational patterns of the virus.
