Alternative CUG Codon Usage in the Halotolerant Yeast <i>Debaryomyces hansenii</i>: Gene Expression Profiles Provide New Insights into Ambiguous Translation

The halotolerant yeast <i>Debaryomyces hansenii</i> belongs to the CTG-Ser1 clade of fungal species that use the CUG codon to translate as leucine or serine. The ambiguous decoding of the CUG codon is relevant for expanding protein diversity, but little is known about the role of leucine...
