Differences in codon bias cannot explain differences in translational power among microbes
BMC Bioinformatics, 2005 Background Translational power is the cellular rate of protein synthesis normalized to the biomass invested in translational machinery. Published data suggest a previously unrecognized pattern: translational power is higher among rapidly growing microbes,

Selection against spurious promoter motifs correlates with translational efficiency across bacteria. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Because binding of RNAP to misplaced sites could compromise the efficiency of transcription, natural selection for the optimization of gene expression should regulate the distribution of DNA motifs capable of RNAP-binding across the genome.

Solving the riddle of codon usage preferences: a test for translational selection
, 2004 Translational selection is responsible for the unequal usage of synonymous codons in protein coding genes in a wide variety of organisms. It is one of the most subtle and pervasive forces of molecular evolution, yet, establishing the underlying causes ...

Genome Biology, 2018 Background Most amino acids are encoded by multiple synonymous codons. However, synonymous codons are not used equally, and this biased codon use varies between different organisms.

Genome-wide analysis of codon usage bias in four sequenced cotton species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Codon usage bias (CUB) is an important evolutionary feature in a genome which provides important information for studying organism evolution, gene function and exogenous gene expression.

Discovery of indole-modified aptamers for highly specific recognition of protein glycoforms
Nature Communications, 2021 Glycosylation is an abundant form of post-translational modification. Here the authors present a generalizable workflow for the selection of indole-modified aptamers that can recognize protein glycoforms with high specificity.

Variation and selection on codon usage bias across an entire subphylum.
PLoS Genetics, 2019 Variation in synonymous codon usage is abundant across multiple levels of organization: between codons of an amino acid, between genes in a genome, and between genomes of different species.

mSystems, 2022 Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are virus-like elements that are encoded by some bacterial and archaeal genomes. The production of GTAs can be induced by carbon depletion and results in host lysis and the release of virus-like particles that contain mostly ...
