Abstract excerpt
Synonymous mutations in protein coding genes significantly impact translation efficiency. We synthesized a pair of genes encoding green fluorescent protein that were separated by 160 synonymous mutations to investigate key factors that affect translation efficiency. One sequence was optimized for Escherichia coli (GFP(Eco)) and the other for Bacillus subtilis (GFP(Bsu)). When the genes were expressed in E. coli,...
