Dear customers,

ATG:biosynthetic Bioinformatics team is always YOUR reliable and trustworthy partner for all issues in Comparative Explorative Genomics - for Genomic Data Mining.

Precise genomic data are leading especially to high functional level molecular BioDesigns, Molecular Engineering of Synthetic Genes and Clusters thereof in Constructional and Artificial Applications of Synthetic Biology.

Based on Synthetic Genes ATG is specialized in planning and realization of bioproduction processes from proof of principle up to the requirements of pilot scales.

Design & Analysis - "codon harmonization" of Synthetic Genes

Core-CDS variants consisting of optimized sequences targting varying codon bias in accordance with the expression host's preferences but showing similar estimated velocity profile shapes can be useful library building blocks for new experimental designs. Provided that other important sequence requirements are considered simultanously in the couse of bioinformatic strategies related to related to "Codon Harmonization" gene function can be influenced towards desired traits. By harmonizing the Codon Usage Frequencies of the Target Gene with those of the Expression Host, Heterologous Protein Expression can be enhanced Fig1.


Fig1.(A)Possible strategy related to "codon harmonization": Signals 1-3 are obtained using different but correlated codon scores based on data-analysis of the native producer. The red line reflects the estimated local translation velocity in the expression host. Velocity indices can be tRNA, codon-bias or codon-enrichment based, preferably combined and crosschecked with insights from mechanistic modeling, or strictly defined according to the customers proposal and specialized knowledge. In the shown example CAI-scores were used and suspected to be problematic codons were avoided. (B,C)Variants of the translation initiation site and in the case of bacterial operons also the translational coupling regions of adjacent orfs should be parametrized and controlled accordingly. The general idea is: When slowing down translational speed, then lower the translation rate according to the pattern in the native host (similar to "codon harmonization") without risking translational arrest, no-go-decay or ribosomal drop-off. (D)Simultaneous control of the synonymous codon frequency distribution following preferences of the eukaryotic expression host for the bacterial NRPS sequence depicted in (A). Codon usage cluster analyses, more detailed tRNA-adaptation analyses and evolutionary-distance based investigations that connect synonymous codon conservation, pausing signals and predicted protein structure have been used to decipher translational regulation (E-G). Data-mining the often highly conserved relative protein expression levels or translational efficiencies of orthologous genes, for which reliable measurements have been performed in the community, is also a promising method to gain insights and estimations.
