Measurement of average decoding rates of the 61 sense codons in vivo

J Gardin, R Yeasmin, A Yurovsky, Y Cai, S Skiena… - Elife, 2014 - elifesciences.org
Most amino acids can be encoded by several synonymous codons, which are used at
unequal frequencies. The significance of unequal codon usage remains unclear. One …

Polysome propensity and tunable thresholds in coding sequence length enable differential mRNA stability

S Rahaman, S Faravelli, S Voegeli, A Becskei - Science Advances, 2023 - science.org
The half-life of mRNAs, as well as their translation, increases in proportion to the optimal
codons, indicating a tight coupling of codon-dependent differential translation and …

Differential scaling of gene expression with cell size may explain size control in budding yeast

Y Chen, G Zhao, J Zahumensky, S Honey, B Futcher - Molecular cell, 2020 - cell.com
Yeast cells must grow to a critical size before committing to division. It is unknown how size
is measured. We find that as cells grow, mRNAs for some cell-cycle activators scale faster …

Cis-regulatory elements explain most of the mRNA stability variation across genes in yeast

J Cheng, KC Maier, Ž Avsec, P Rus, J Gagneur - Rna, 2017 - rnajournal.cshlp.org
The stability of mRNA is one of the major determinants of gene expression. Although a
wealth of sequence elements regulating mRNA stability has been described, their …

Context-dependent deposition and regulation of mRNAs in P-bodies

C Wang, F Schmich, S Srivatsa, J Weidner… - Elife, 2018 - elifesciences.org
Cells respond to stress by remodeling their transcriptome through transcription and
