ribosomal binding site



Strong consensus RBS and 8 bp
space between RBS and Start
codon for increased binding
affinity and improved translation



mRNA may back onto RBS region
depending on sequence
Codon Usage Rate









Alter DNA sequence for improved translation effeciency
Can limit translation if tRNA anticodons used for amino acids are
not in abundance
Ex. Lysine encoded by AAA 25% and AAG 75%. Figure 10.3 has E.
coli waiting on UUU tRNA since it mainly uses AAG as primary
codon.

Directly supply rare tRNA for increased translation


Can be very expensive depending on scale of production
FIGURE 10.3
Codon Usage Affects Rate of TranslationBacteria prefer one codon for a particular amino acid to other
13
redundant codons. In this example, the ribosome is stalled because it is waiting for lysine tRNA with a
UUU anticodon. Escherichia coli does not use this codon very often and there is a limited supply of
this tRNA.

misfolded and nonfunctional proteins called Inclusion Bodies
