Genes for highly abundant proteins in Escherichia coli avoid 5' codons that promote ribosomal initiation.

In many species highly expressed genes (HEGs) over-employ the synonymous codons that match the more abundant iso-acceptor tRNAs. Bacterial transgene codon randomization experiments report, however, that enrichment with such "translationally optimal" codons has little to no effect on the re...
