Regulation of translation in haloarchaea: 5'- and 3'-UTRs are essential and have to functionally interact in vivo [PDF]
Recently a first genome-wide analysis of translational regulation using prokaryotic species had been performed which revealed that regulation of translational efficiency plays an important role in haloarchaea.

Positive selection for unpreferred codon usage in eukaryotic genomes
Background Natural selection has traditionally been understood as a force responsible for pushing genes to states of higher translational efficiency, whereas lower translational efficiency has been explained by neutral mutation and genetic drift.

Codon-by-codon modulation of translational speed and accuracy via mRNA folding. [PDF]
Rapid cell growth demands fast protein translational elongation to alleviate ribosome shortage. However, speedy elongation undermines translational accuracy because of a mechanistic tradeoff.

Selective mRNA translation in erythropoiesis
The daily production of up to 1011 erythrocytes is tightly controlled to maintain the number of erythrocytes in peripheral blood between narrow boundaries. Availability of growth factors and nutrients, particularly iron, control the proliferation and survival of precursor cells partly through control of mRNA translation.

The Evolutionary Basis of Translational Accuracy in Plants
Mistranslation errors compromise fitness by wasting resources on nonfunctional proteins. In order to reduce the cost of mistranslations, natural selection chooses the most accurately translated codons at sites that are particularly important for protein ...

Genome-wide analysis of growth phase-dependent translational and transcriptional regulation in halophilic archaea : research article [PDF]
Background Differential expression of genes can be regulated on many different levels. Most global studies of gene regulation concentrate on transcript level regulation, and very few global analyses of differential translational efficiencies exist.

Accounting for Programmed Ribosomal Frameshifting in the Computation of Codon Usage Bias Indices
Experimental evidence shows that synonymous mutations can have important consequences on genetic fitness. Many organisms display codon usage bias (CUB), where synonymous codons that are translated into the same amino acid appear with distinct frequency ...

A quantitative estimation of the global translational activity in logarithmically growing yeast cells. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Translation of messenger mRNAs makes significant contributions to the control of gene expression in all eukaryotes. Because translational control often involves fractional changes in translational activity, good quantitative descriptions of ...
