Role of silent gene mutations in the expression of caprine growth hormone in Escherchia coli.

Abstract excerpt

This report describes the strategy for overexpression of caprine growth hormone (cGH) gene of beetal goat in E. coli through introducing silent mutations in the 5'-end of the coding sequence. The silent mutations introduced were aimed at minimizing translation-inhibiting secondary structures in the mRNA. Free energies of the resultant mRNAs were calculated from the ribosomal binding site of mRNA to +24 base using...
