!!GENETIC_CODE 1.0 transl_table = 11 This file contains the Bacterial Code translation table, specified in the Feature Definition, Version 1.08, formatted for use with GCG programs. It names amino acids in both one and three-letter form and lists the codons which should translate into them. All GCG translation programs may generate their translations from the unambiguous codons in this table. Codons which are all lower case are start codons. Alternative Initiation Codons: GUG, UUG, AUU, CUG Systematic Range: Prokaryotes including the eubacteria (Kozak, 1983) and archaebacteria (Brown et al. 1989; Noelling et al., unpublished). Comments: * UGA codes at low efficiency for Trp in Bacillus subtilis and, presumably, in Escherichia coli (Hatfiled and Diamond, 1993). * CUG is known to function as an initiator for one plasmid-encoded protein (RepA) in Escherichia coli (Spiers and Bergquist, 1992) and possibly in Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum (Noelling et al., unpublished) * There is no record of AUU initition codon for the archaebacteria.
