# Genetic Code Table # # Obtained from: http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Utils/wprintgc.cgi # # Version 3.6 # Added code 22 TAG-Leu, TCA-stop # found in mitochondrial DNA of Scenedesmus obliquus # submitted by Gertraude Berger, Ph.D. # Organelle Genome Megasequencing Program, Univ Montreal # # Other Alternative Initiation Codons # # GUG, UUG (and possibly CUG) in the Archaea (Noelling et al., unpublished) # AUA, GUG, UUG, and AUC or AAG may be used (at least in experimental # systems) by the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Olsen, 1987, and references #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). # # Systematic Range: # # Scenedesmus obliquus: Nedelcu A, Lee RW, Lemieux C, Gray MW and Burger G. # "The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of Scenedesmus obliquus reflects an # intermediate stage in the evolution of the green algal mitochondrial genome." # Genome Research (in press).
