Co-evolution between Codon Usage and Protein-Protein Interaction in Bacteria
We study the correlation between the codon usage bias of genetic sequences and the network features of protein-protein interaction (PPI) in bacterial species. We use PCA techniques in the space of codon bias indices to show that genes with similar patterns of codon usage have a significantly higher probability that their encoded proteins are functionally connected and interacting. Importantly, this signal emerges when multiple aspects of codon bias are taken into account at the same time. The present study extends our previous observations on E.Coli over a wide set of 34 bacteria. These findings could allow for future investigations on the possible effects of codon bias on the topology of the PPI network, with the aim of improving existing bioinformatics methods for predicting protein interactions.

Codon Bias Patterns of $E.coli$'s Interacting Proteins
Synonymous codons, i.e., DNA nucleotide triplets coding for the same amino acid, are used differently across the variety of living organisms. The biological meaning of this phenomenon, known as codon usage bias, is still…
Effect of protein structure on evolution of cotranslational folding
Cotranslational folding depends on the folding speed and stability of the nascent protein. It remains difficult, however, to predict which proteins cotranslationally fold. Here, we simulate evolution of model proteins to…
Protein FoldingTranslationAlgorithm for Optimized mRNA Design Improves Stability and Immunogenicity
Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines are being used for COVID-19, but still suffer from the critical issue of mRNA instability and degradation, which is a major obstacle in the storage, distribution, and efficacy of the vaccine…
Protein Language ModelSentenceCodonMPNN for Organism Specific and Codon Optimal Inverse Folding
Generating protein sequences conditioned on protein structures is an impactful technique for protein engineering. When synthesizing engineered proteins, they are commonly translated into DNA and expressed in an organism …
Smooth $\%$MinMax: A Differentiable Relaxation for Codon Harmonization
Codon harmonization aims to adapt the coding sequences for heterologous expression while preserving the native-like patterns of frequent and rare codons that may influence local translation dynamics and co-translational …
