Frequent GU wobble pairings reduce translation efficiency in Plasmodium falciparum

Plasmodium falciparum genome has 81% A+T content. This nucleotide bias leads to extreme codon usage bias and culminates in frequent insertion of asparagine homorepeats in the proteome. Using recodonized GFP sequences, we show that codons decoded via G:U wobble pairing are suboptimal codons that are...
