In this paper, a corresponding analysis of the codon usage bias in the large subunit of ribonucleotide reductase (R1), encoded by UL39 gene from duck enteritis virus (DEV) CHv strain (Assigned Accession No.: EU071042) and 33 other reference herpesviruses was performed by using CAI, CHIPS and CUSP program of EMBOSS, aims to provide a basis for understanding the evolution and pathogenesis of DEV and for selecting appropriate host expression systems. The results showed that codon usage bias of DEV R1 gene strongly preferred to the synonymous with A and T at the third codon position; the phylogentic analysis revealed that DEV had a close evolutionary relationship with the avian Alphaherpesvirinae. In addition, the codon usage bias of DEV R1 gene was compared with those of E.coli, yeast and human. There are 17 codons showing distinct usage differences between DEV and E.coli, 13 codons between DEV and yeast, 20 codons between DEV and human. Therefore, the yeast expression system is more suitable for the target gene’s expression. The extent of codon usage bias in the DEV R1 gene was highly correlated with the gene expression level, therefore the results may provide useful information for the study of classification and function of the target gene.

The analysis on codon usage bias of UL17 gene of duck enteritis virus (DEV) may provide a basis for understanding the relevant mechanism for its biased usage of synonymous codons and for selecting appropriate host expression systems to improve the expression of DEV UL17 gene. In this study the results indicate that codon usage bias of DEV UL17 gene strongly preferred to the synonymous with A and T at third codon position. The ENC values and GC3S contents of the codon usage bias of UL17 genes in DEV and the 20 reference herpesviruses were obviously different. In addition, we compared the codon usage bias of DEV UL17 gene with E.coli, yeast and human. There are 25 codons showing distinct usage differences between DEV and E. coli, 17 codons between DEV and yeast, 23 codons between DEV and human. Therefore, the yeast expression system is more suitable for heterologous expression of the DEV UL17 gene.

In order to provide a basis for understanding the evolutionary relationship and pathogenesis of Riemerella anatipestifer and selecting a appropriate host expression systems to improve the expression of target gene in vivo and in vitro, we identified the codon bias in the newly confirmed D15 gene of Riemerella anatipestifer ATCC 11845 strain and performed comparative analysis of the codon usage bias between D15 gene in R. anatipestifer and the other 10 referenced Flavobacteriaceaes by a series of online bioinformatics softwares. The results revealed that the synonymous codons with A and T at the third codon position had widely usage in the codon of D15 gene of R. anatipestifer. In addition, there were 70 rare codons in the ORF of the D15 of R. anatipestifer, and 32 codons showing distinct usage differences between R. anatipestifer and E. coli, 30 codons between R. anatipestifer and Homo sapiens, 16 codons between R. anatipestifer and yeast, indicated the yeast expression system may be more suitable for the expression of R. anatipestifer genes. The extent of codon usage bias in the D15 gene in R. anatipestifer was highly correlated with the gene expression level, therefore the results may provide useful information for gene classification and functional studies.

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 of DEV UL14 gene was analyzed by using CAI, CHIPS and CUSP program of EMBOSS. The results showed that codon usage bias in the DEV UL14 gene was a high level of diversity in codon usage bias towards the synonymous with C and G at the third codon position existed for coding the Glu, Gly, Asn and Tyr amino acids. The cluster analysis demonstrated that the codon usage bias of DEV UL14 gene has a very close relationship with its gene function and gene type. In addition, the E.coli expression system is more suitable for heterologous expression of the DEV UL14 gene.

A comprehensive analysis of codon usage bias of DPV UL13 gene (GenBank Accession No. EU195098) was performed to provide a basis for understanding the relevant mechanism for its biased usage of synonymous codons and for selecting suitable expression systems to improve the expression of UL13 genes. Our study showed that codon usage bias of DPV UL13 gene strongly prefered to the synonymous with A and T at the third codon position. And ENC value and GC3s contents of the codon usage bias of UL13 gene in DPV were significantly different compared with those in other 21 reference herpesviruses. The phylogentic analysis about the putative protein of DPV UL13 and the 21 reference herpesviruses revealed that DPV was evolutionarily closer to the AnHV-1. In addition, the codon usage bias of DPV UL13 gene was compared with those of E. coli, yeast and human. There are 23 codons showing distinct usage differences between DPV and E. coli, 12 codons between DPV and yeast, 21 codons between DPV and human. Therefore, the yeast expression system is more appropriate for heterologous expression of the DPV UL13 gene.

Main Factor

In this study, we calculated the codon usage bias in DPV CHv UL1 gene and performed a comparative analysis of synonymous codon patterns in UL1 of DPV CHv strain and other 19 reference herpesviruses. The results revealed that the synonymous codons with A and T at the third codon positon have widely usage in the codon of UL1 gene of DPV CHv. G + C compositional constraint was the main factor that determined the codon usage bias in UL1 gene. In addition, the codon usage bias of DPV CHv UL1 gene was compared with those of E. coli, yeast and human. There are 25 codons showing distinct usage differences between DPV and E. coli, 26 codons between DPV and yeast, and 21 codons between DPV and human. Therefore, the Human expression system is more suitable for heterologous expression of the DPV UL1 gene.
