AbstractThe deviation from the uniform usage of synonymous codons is termed codon usage bias. A lot has been explained from the translational viewpoint for the observed phenomenon. To understand codon usage bias from the transcriptional perspective, we present here a holistic picture of this phenomenon in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, using both wild type and computationally mutated mRNAs. Although in wild type, both codon usage bias and mRNA stability positively regulate the gene (mRNA) expression level and are positively correlated with each other, any deviation from natural situation breaks such equilibrium. Computational examination of mRNA sequences with different sets of synonymous codon composition reveals that in mutated condition, the mRNA expression becomes reduced. Furthermore, constraining codon usage pattern to wild type and carrying out randomization of codons resulted in less stable mRNA. Further, we realized a Boolean Expression explaining the gene expression under various conditions of bias and mRNA stability. These studies suggest that selection of codons is favored for regulation of gene expression through potential formation of messenger RNA structures which contribute to folding stability. The naturally occurring codon composition is responsible for optimization of gene expression, and under such composition, the mRNA structure having highest stability is selected by nature.

Background and Aim: Classical swine fever (CSF), caused by CSF virus (CSFV), is a highly contagious disease in pigs causing 100% mortality in susceptible adult pigs and piglets. High mortality rate in pigs causes huge economic loss to pig farmers. CSFV has a positive-sense RNA genome of 12.3 kb in length flanked by untranslated regions at 5' and 3' end. The genome codes for a large polyprotein of 3900 amino acids coding for 11 viral proteins. The 1300 codons in the polyprotein are coded by different combinations of three nucleotides which help the infectious agent to evolve itself and adapt to the host environment. This study performed and employed various methods/techniques to estimate the changes occurring in the process of CSFV evolution by analyzing the codon usage pattern. Materials and Methods: The evolution of viruses is widely studied by analyzing their nucleotides and coding regions/ codons using various methods. A total of 115 complete coding regions of CSFVs including one complete genome from our laboratory (MH734359) were included in this study and analysis was carried out using various methods in estimating codon usage bias and evolution. This study elaborates on the factors that influence the codon usage pattern. Results: The effective number of codons (ENC) and relative synonymous codon usage showed the presence of codon usage bias. The mononucleotide (A) has a higher frequency compared to the other mononucleotides (G, C, and T). The dinucleotides CG and CC are underrepresented and overrepresented. The codons CGT was underrepresented and AGG was overrepresented. The codon adaptation index value of 0.71 was obtained indicating that there is a similarity in the codon usage bias. The principal component analysis, ENC-plot, Neutrality plot, and Parity Rule 2 plot produced in this article indicate that the CSFV is influenced by the codon usage bias. The mutational pressure and natural selection are the important factors that influence the codon usage bias. Conclusion: The study provides useful information on the codon usage analysis of CSFV and may be utilized to understand the host adaptation to virus environment and its evolution. Further, such findings help in new gene discovery, design of primers/probes, design of transgenes, determination of the origin of species, prediction of gene expression level, and gene function of CSFV. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on codon usage bias involving such a large number of complete CSFVs including one sequence of CSFV from India.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to understand the molecular relationship between nematode (parasite) and fish (host) through codon usage bias (CUB) analysis. Methodology: The Codon usage bias analysis has been performed in fish Carassius gibelio (Prussian carp) and nematode fish parasite Anisakis simplex. The complete coding sequences (CDS) of C. gibelio (Prussian carp) and A. simplex (Nematode) were retrieved from National Center for Biotechnology Information and followed to that we have performed bioinformatics analysis to understand the codon usage pattern between host and parasite. Results: Different CUB indices like Relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU), Effective number of codons (ENC), Codon adaptation index (CAI) and Codon bias index (CBI) revealed a similar pattern in the codon usage in C. gibelio and A. simplex. In addition, inclusive analysis using different plots (ENC, parity, neutrality) had shown the influence of both the evolutionary forces i.e mutational and translational selection on codon usage pattern. This describes the role of evolutionary forces in determining the conserved genome to establish species-specific function-level differences for efficient survival. Interpretation: The present study elucidated the association between Carassiusgibelio (host) and Anisakis simplex (parasite) based on the similar pattern of codon usage bias between both the species.

The analysis of codon usage may improve our understanding of the evolution and pathogenesis of DEV（Duck enteritis virus） and allow reengineering of target gene to improve their expression for gene therapy.In this study,we calculated the codon usage bias in DEV UL55 gene and performed a comparative analysis of synonymous codon usage patterns in other 26 related viruses by EMBOSS CUSP program and Codon W on line.Moreover,statistical methods were used to investigate the correlations of these related parameters. By comparing synonymous codon usage patterns in different viruses,we observed that synonymous codon usage pattern in these virus is virus specific and phylogenetically conserved, with a strong bias towards the codons with A and T at the third codon position. Phylogenetic analysis based on codon usage pattern suggested that DEV UL55 gene was clustered with the avian Alphaherpesvirus but diverged to form a single branch. The Neutrality-plot suggested GC12 and GC3s adopt the same mutation pattern,meanwhile,the ENC-plot revealed that the genetic heterogeneity in UL55 genes is constrained by the G+C content, while translational selection and gene length have no or micro effect on the variations of synonymous codon usage in these virus genes.Furthermore, we compared the codon preferences of DEV with those of E. coli, yeast and Homo sapiens.Data suggested the eukaryotes system such as human system may be more suitable for the expression of DEV UL55 gene in vitro. If the yeast and E. coli expression system are wanted for the expression of DEV UL55 gene ,codon optimization of the DEV UL55 gene may be required.

The codon usage pattern of genes has a key role in the gene expression and adaptive evolution of an organism. It is very significant in understanding the role of complex genomic structure in defining cell fates and regulating diverse biological functions. In this paper, we discussed that the codon usage index (CAIg) based on all protein-coding genes is a promising alternative to the Codon Adaptation Index (CAI). CAIg which measures the extent that a gene uses a subset of preferred codons relies exclusively on sequence features and is used as a good indicator of the strength of codon bias. A critical analysis of predicted highly expressed (PHE) genes in Neurospora crassa has been performed using codon usage index (CAIg) as a numerical estimator of gene expression level. Analyzing compositional properties and codon usage pattern of genes in Neurospora crassa, our study indicates that codon composition plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression. We found a systematic strong correlation between CAIg and CBI (codon bias index) or other expression-measures. Here, we show that codon usage index CAIg correlates well with both protein and mRNA levels; suggesting that codon usage is an important determinant of gene expression. Our study highlights the relationship between gene expression and compositional signature in relation to codon usage bias in Neurospora crassa and sets the ground for future investigation in eukaryotic biology.
