Yeast genetic codes - Endogenous Stochastic Decoding of the CUG Codon by Competing Ser- and Leu-tRNAs in Ascoidea asiatica


ABSTRACT: While the “universal” genetic code is now known not to be universal, and stop codons can have multiple meanings, one regularity remains, namely that for a given sense codon there is a unique translation. Examining CUG usage in yeasts that have transferred CUG away from leucine, we here report the first example of dual coding: Ascoidea asiatica stochastically encodes CUG as both serine and leucine. This is deleterious as evidenced by CUG codons being rare, never at conserved serine/leucine residues and predominantly in lowly expressed genes. Related yeasts solve the problem by loss-of-function of one of the two tRNAs. This dual-coding is consistent with the tRNA-loss driven codon reassignment hypothesis and provides a unique example of a proteome that cannot be deterministically predicted.

Although the "universal" genetic code is now known not to be universal, and stop codons can have multiple meanings, one regularity remains, namely that for a given sense codon there is a unique translation. Examining CUG usage in yeasts that have transferred CUG away from leucine, we here report the first example of dual coding: Ascoidea asiatica stochastically encodes CUG as both serine and leucine in approximately equal proportions. This is deleterious, as evidenced by CUG codons being rare, n  ...[more]
