Abstract excerpt
Non-optimal codons are defined by low usage and low abundance of corresponding tRNA, and have an established role in translational pausing to allow the correct folding of proteins. Our previous work reported a striking abundance of non-optimal codons in the signal sequences of secretory proteins exported via the sec-dependent pathway in Escherichia coli. In the current study the signal sequence of maltose-binding...
