Vertebrate immunoglobulin (Ig) mRNAs reveal intraspecies variation in codon usage distinct from that seen with yeast or bacterial genes. Comparison of all available Ig gene sequences shows that %(G + C) in codon position III is consistently lower in variable (V) segments than in constant (C) segments. I find an even lower %(G + C) in the hypervariable domains of V segments. This analysis suggests that base substitution in Ig genes correlates positively with local A + T content.
脊椎动物免疫球蛋白(Ig)mRNA显示出种内密码子使用的差异,这与酵母或细菌基因不同。对所有可用的Ig基因序列进行比较表明,密码子第三位的%(G + C)在可变(V)片段中始终低于恒定(C)片段。我发现在V片段的高变区中%(G + C)更低。该分析表明Ig基因中的碱基替换与局部A + T含量呈正相关。
