Molec. # Evol. 28: 374-387 329-332. # # Other Alternative Initiation Codons # # GUG, UUG (and possibly CUG) in the Archaea (Noelling et al., unpublished) # # AUA, GUG, UUG, and AUC or AAG may be used (at least in experimental # systems) by the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Olsen, 1987, and references # therein). # # ACG initiates translation of certain proteins in the adeno-associated virus # type 2 (Becerra et al., 1985), the phage T7 mutant CR17 (Anderson and # Buzash-Pollert, 1985), Sendai virus (Gupta and Patwardhan, 1988), and rice # chloroplast (Hiratsuka et al., 1989). Also, it is the most effective non-AUG # initiation codon in mammalin cells (Koepke and Leggatt, 1991). # # CUG is the initiation codon for one of the two alternative products of the # human c-myc gene (Hann et al., 1987). # Genetic Code [21] Trematode Mitochondrial AAs = FFLLSSSSYY**CCWWLLLLPPPPHHQQRRRRIIMMTTTTNNNKSSSSVVVVAAAADDEEGGGG Starts = -----------------------------------M---------------M------------ Base1 = TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Base2 = TTTTCCCCAAAAGGGGTTTTCCCCAAAAGGGGTTTTCCCCAAAAGGGGTTTTCCCCAAAAGGGG Base3 = TCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAG
