Codon usage bias is correlated with gene expression levels in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

ABSTRACT: Usage of synonymous codons represents a characteristic pattern of preference in each organism. It has been inferred that such bias of codon usage has evolved as a result of adaptation for efficient synthesis of proteins. Here we examined synonymous codon usage in genes of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and compared codon usage bias with expression levels of the gene. In this organism, synonymous codon usage bias was correlated with expression levels of the gene; the bias was most obvious in two-codon amino acids. A similar pattern of the codon usage bias was also observed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Caenorhabditis elegans, but was not obvious in Oryza sativa, Drosophila melanogaster, Takifugu rubripes and Homo sapiens. As codons of the highly expressed genes have greater influence on translational efficiency than codons of genes expressed at lower levels, it is likely that codon usage in the S. pombe genome has been optimized by translational selection through evolution.

Relative amounts of mRNA for each ORF were measured by DNA microarray using genomic DNA as a reference, and the copy number of mRNA was calculated using an estimate of the total mRNA number in the cell as 100,000 copies.

Transcriptomic, proteomic and functional consequences of codon usage bias in human cells

Project description:Differences in codon frequency between genomes, genes, or positions along a gene, modulate transcription and translation efficiency, leading to phenotypic and functional differences. Integrative studies quantifying the phenotypic consequences of codon usage bias at different molecular and cellular levels in human cells are lacking. Here, we present a multiscale analysis of the effects of synonymous codon recoding during heterologous gene expression in human cells. Six synonymous versions of an antibiotic resistance gene were generated, fused to a fluorescent reporter, and independently expressed in HEK293 cells. Multiscale phenotype was analysed by means of: quantitative transcriptome and proteome assessment, as proxies for gene expression; cellular fluorescence, as a proxy for single-cell level expression; and real-time cell proliferation in absence or presence of antibiotic, as a proxy for the cell fitness. We show that differences in codon usage bias strongly impact the molecular and cellular phenotype: (i) they result in large differences in mRNA and in protein levels, as well in mRNA-to-protein ratio; (ii) they introduce unpredicted splicing events; (iii) they lead to reproducible phenotypic heterogeneity; and (iv) they lead to a trade-off between the benefit of antibiotic resistance and the burden of heterologous expression. In human cells in culture, codon usage bias modulates gene expression by modifying mRNA availability and suitability for translation, leading to differences in protein levels and eventually eliciting functional phenotypic changes.

Codon usage optimization in pluripotent embryonic stem cells [tRNA sequencing]

Project description:The uneven use of synonymous codons in the transcriptome regulates the efficiency and fidelity of protein translation rates. Yet, the importance of this codon bias on regulating cell state-specific expression programs is currently debated. Here, we asked whether the gene expression program in the well-defined cell states of self-renewal and differentiation in embryonic stem cells is driven by optimized codon usage. Using ribosome and transcriptome profiling, we identified distinct codon signatures for human self-renewing and differentiating embryonic stem cells. One driver for the cell state-specific codon bias was the genomic GC-content of the differentially expressed genes and thus, determined by transcription rather than translation. However, by measuring the codon frequencies at the ribosome’s active sites interacting with transfer RNAs (tRNA), we discovered that the wobble position tRNA modification inosine strongly influenced the codon optimization in self-renewing embryonic stem cells. This effect was conserved in mice and independent of the differentiation stimulus. In summary, we newly reveal how translational mechanisms based on RNA modifications can shape optimized codon usage in embryonic stem cells.

Ribosome profiling of WT strain in Neurospora crass

Project description:Codon usage bias, which refers to uneven use of synonymous codons, was shown to associate with mRNA stability from yeast to human. However, the underlying molecular basis is largely unknown. With bioinformatic analyses we unexpectedly found that codon usage bias is inversely correlated to density of out-of-frame stop codons (hidden stop codon or HSC). To understand the physiological function of HSCs, we use the frequency gene of Neurospora crassa to examine the role of HSCs in circadian rhythm. We show that deleting HSCs in the upstream of frequency (frq) open reading frame without altering FRQ sequence resulted in loss of circadian rhythm. Further analyses revealed that HSC deletion of frq resulted in elevated stability of frq mRNA, which consequently causes higher FRQ protein level. Combined various methods, we showed that rare codons in the upstream frq region generates significant amount of aberrant translation at +1 frame, possibly via ribosomal frameshifting. Consistently, at genome wide we showed that both in N. crassa and S. cerevisiae, the codon usage bias combined with numbers of HSC are inversely correlated to mRNA stability. Together, these data indicate that HSCs might act as an intrinsic mechanism to terminate aberrant ribosomal frameshifting events triggered by non-optimal codons, thus fine-tune mRNA stability.

Codon usage influences the local rate of translation elongation to regulate co-translational protein folding

Project description:Codon usage bias is a universal feature of eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes and has been proposed to regulate translation efficiency, accuracy and protein folding based on the assumption that codon usage affects translation dynamics. The role of codon usage in regulating translation, however, is not clear and has been challenged by recent ribosome profiling studies. Here we used a Neurospora cell-free translation system to directly monitor the velocity of mRNA translation. We demonstrated that the use of preferred codons enhances the rate of translation elongation, whereas non-optimal codons slow translation. In addition, codon usage regulates ribosome traffic on the mRNA. These conclusions were supported by ribosome profiling results in vitro and in vivo with substrate mRNAs manipulated to increase signal over background noise. We further show that codon usage plays an important role in regulating protein function by affecting co-translational protein folding. Together, these results resolve a long-standing fundamental question and demonstrate the importance of codon usage on protein folding.

A rare-codon-based translational program of cell proliferation

Project description:The codon usage of mRNAs controls the speed of translation elongation, which is primarily determined by the abundance of cognate tRNAs. By profiling mRNA expression around the cell cycle we found that mRNAs that are relatively upregulate in the G2/M phase are enriched in rare codons. To understand the impact of this codon bias on translation, we have cultured NIH 3T3 cells with different concentrations of fetal calf serum (FCS), 1, 2, 5, and 10%, respectively, to induce distinct proliferation rates and thus distinct proportions of cells in the culture in the G2/M phase. We then estimated the levels of all proteins and mRNAs, and the change in translation efficiency (proteins per mRNA) in highly (10% FCS) relatively to less highly proliferating cells (lower FCS concentrations).

Queuosine modification of tRNA-Tyr elicits translational reprogramming and enhances growth of Vibrio cholerae with aminoglycosides

Project description:Tgt is responsible for the queuosine (Q) modification of the guanine (G) in tRNAs with GUN anti-codon. We have previously identified tgt as being vital for growth in presence sub-lethal concentrations of aminoglycosides in Vibrio cholerae. Here we further explore the role of Q modification in translation fidelity and efficiency of codon decoding upon tobramycin exposure. We characterize the impact on codon decoding efficiency, the overall translation of the bacterial proteome, and the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of Q modification in antibiotic stress response. Using molecular reporters, we show that Q modification impacts the efficiency of decoding at tyrosine TAT and TAC codons. Proteomics identify the anti-SoxR factor RsxA as better translated in the absence of tgt. RsxA displays a codon bias towards tyrosine TAT and its overabundance leads to decreased expression of genes belonging to SoxR oxidative stress regulon. We also identify conditions which regulate tgt expression. We propose that regulation of Q modification in response to environmental cues leads to translational reprogramming of genes bearing a biased tyrosine codon usage. In silico analysis further identifies candidate genes possibly subjected to such translational regulation, among which DNA repair factors. Such transcripts, which fit the definition of modification tunable transcripts, are plausibly central in the bacterial response to antibiotic stress.
