Studies on codon usage in Entamoeba histolytica

Codon usage bias of Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, was investigated using the available DNA sequence data. Entamoeba histolytica having AT rich genome, is expected to have A and/or T at the third position of codons. Overall codon usage data analysis indicates that A and/or T ending cod...

description Codon usage bias of Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, was investigated using the available DNA sequence data. Entamoeba histolytica having AT rich genome, is expected to have A and/or T at the third position of codons. Overall codon usage data analysis indicates that A and/or T ending codons are strongly biased in the coding region of this organism. However, multivariate statistical analysis suggests that there is a single major trend in codon usage variation among the genes. The genes which are supposed to be highly expressed are clustered at one end, while the majority of the putatively lowly expressed genes are clustered at the other end. The codon usage pattern is distinctly different in these two sets of genes. C ending codons are significantly higher in the putatively highly expressed genes suggesting that C ending codons are translationally optimal in this organism. In the putatively lowly expressed genes A and/or T ending codons are predominant, which suggests that compositional constraints are playing the major role in shaping codon usage variation among the lowly expressed genes. These results suggest that both mutational bias and translational selection are operational in the codon usage variation in this organism.
