- No correlation between CAI and protein expression among

- Tight RNA structure reduce translation Protein abundance

- The tightness at the 5 matters

- Bioinformatics vs. synthetic biology Bioinformatics Hundreds of
thousands of genes All passed through natural selection Synthetic
biology Variability is controlled (few confounding factors)
- Slide 12
- Maybe we had a wrong (i.e. too simple) model for evaluating
effect of codons on TE?

simultaneously

- The anti-ShineDalgarno sequence drives translational pausing
and codon choice in bacteria Gene-Wei Li, Eugene Oh & Jonathan
S. Weissman System Biology Retreat 2012
- Slide 23
- Abstract a genome-wide analysis of pausing in bacteria by
ribosome profiling. codons decoded by rare tRNAs do not lead to
slow translation under nutrient-rich conditions. ShineDalgarno(SD)
like features cause translational pausing. pausing is due to
hybridization between the mRNA and 16S rRNA of the translating
ribosome. In protein-coding sequences, internal SD sequences are
disfavoured. SD-like sequences are a major determinant of
translation rates and a global driving force for the coding of
bacterial genomes.
- Slide 24
- Ribosome Profiling Ribosomes protect from Micrococcal
Nuclease
- Slide 25
- Motivation ribosome occupancy is highly variable across coding
regions ribosome density often surpasses by more than tenfold the
mean density Most pauses are uncharacterized. Where do the pausing
come from???
- Slide 26
- Pausing due to codons usage? NO!* Serine codons Why Serine?
serine is the first amino acid to be catabolized by E. coli when
sugar is absent the increased ribosome occupancy might be due to
limited serine supply. LB medium glucose-supplemented MOPS medium
the identity of the A-site codon could not account for the large
variability in ribosome density along messages
- Slide 27
- Pausing are due to ShineDalgarno (SD) like features Codons
resemble features in the SD (AGGAGGU in E. coli) coincides with
spacing for ribosome binding sites.
- Slide 28
- Pausing are due to SD-like features
- Slide 29
- Is it Elongating or Initiating Ribosomes? Experiment: Create a
cell with: WT-ribosomes, O-ribosome & oSD-lacZ. On oSD-lacZ:
Pausing on SD-like initiation (by WT ribosomes) NO Pausing on
SD-like elongating ribosomes
- Slide 30
- SD-likeoSD-like SD-lacZ Other Genes Pausing are of Elongating
Ribosomes oSD-lacZ Other Genes SD-likeoSD-like
- Slide 31
- Internal SD sequences are disfavoured strong SD-like sequences
are generally avoided in the coding region
- Slide 32
- SD-like features affect codon selection GAG, AGG, and GGG are
all minor codons Selection against two consecutive codons that
resemble SD sequences
- Slide 33
- Why pause ribosomes??
- Slide 34
- Correspondence of protein structure and ribosome pausing
- Slide 35
- Conclusions and Discussions 1.SD-like features explain
pausings, not codons 2.SD-like features & 16S elongating
ribosome interacation 3.SD-like sequneces are disfavored to
optimiaze translation consider peptide sequence 4.Interactions with
ribosomes SD-like codons are disfavoured tRNA expression.

Frameshifting, folding, transcriptional regulation

- Towards more sophisticated translation efficiency models
- Slide 37
- tRNAs may be recycled CAACAGAAATCGAAT TCG Due to recycling the
local concentration of a rare tRNA might be high in a near-by
codon
- Slide 38
- Codon Order Influences the Speed of Translation in Yeast Cells
Natural genes have a tendency to look like. I.e. if a rare codon
appears at a given position it has an elevated tendency to occur
again shortly after along the gene Cannarozzi et al Cell 2010
