Prokaryotic coding regions have little if any specific depletion of Shine-Dalgarno motifs.
The Shine-Dalgarno motif occurs in front of prokaryotic start codons, and is complementary to the 3' end of the 16S ribosomal RNA. Hybridization between the Shine-Dalgarno sequence and the anti-Shine-Dalgarno region of the16S rRNA (CCUCCU) directs the ribosome to the start AUG of the mRNA for t...
