The Genetic CodesCompiled by Andrzej (Anjay) Elzanowski and Jim Ostell at National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.A. Last update of the Genetic Codes: Sep. 23, 2024NCBI takes great care to ensure that the translation for each coding sequence (CDS) present in GenBank records is correct. Central to this effort is careful checking on the taxonomy of each record and assignment of the correct genetic code (shown as a /transl_table qualifier on the CDS in the flat files) for each organism and record. This page summarizes and references this work. The synopsis presented below is based primarily on the reviews by Osawa et al. (1992) and Jukes and Osawa (1993). Listed in square brackets [] (under Systematic Range) are tentative assignments of a particular code based on sequence homology and/or phylogenetic relationships. The print-form ASN.1 version of this document, which includes all the genetic codes outlined below, is also available here. Detailed information on codon usage can be found at the Codon Usage Database. GenBank format by historical convention displays mRNA sequences using the DNA alphabet. Thus, for the convenience of people reading GenBank records, the genetic code tables shown here use T instead of U. The initiator codon - whether it is AUG, CTG, TTG or something else, - is by default translated as methionine (Met, M). The possible intiator codons are marked as 'M' in the second ('Starts') row of the translation tables. Currently, genetic codes can be set independently for nucleus, mitochondria, plastids and hydrogenosomes. The current settings for each of these on the taxonomic tree can be viewed by the four buttons directly underneath the following code list. The following genetic codes are described here:
1. The Standard Code (transl_table=1)By default all transl_table in GenBank flatfiles are equal to id 1, and this is not shown. When transl_table is not equal to id 1, it is shown as a qualifier on the CDS feature.

A well documented case (including direct protein sequencing) is the GUG start of a ribosomal P protein of the fungus Candida albicans (Abramczyk et al.) and the GUG initiation in mammalian NAT1 (Takahashi et al. 2005). Other examples can be found in the following references: Peabody 1989; Prats et al. 1989; Hann et al. 1992; Sugihara et al. 1990. The standard code currently allows initiation from UUG and CUG in addition to AUG.Back to top 2.

Alternative Initiation Codons:Bos: AUA Homo: AUA, AUU Mus: AUA, AUU, AUC Coturnix, Gallus: also GUG (Desjardins and Morais, 1991) Systematic Range:Vertebrata Comments:AGA and AGG were thought to have become mitochondrial stop codons early in vertebrate evolution (Osawa, Ohama, Jukes & Watanabe 1989). However, at least in humans it has now been shown that AGA and AGG sequences are not recognized as termination codons. A -1 mitoribosome frameshift occurs at the AGA and AGG codons predicted to terminate the CO1 and ND6 ORFs, and consequently both ORFs terminate in the standard UAG codon (Temperley et al. 2010). Mitochondrial genes in some vertebrate (including humans) have incomplete stop codons ending in U or UA, which become complete termination codons (UAA) upon subsequent polyadenylation (Hou et al. 2006; Oh et al. 2007; Ki et al. 2010; Temperley R J et al 2010).Back to top 3.

Systematic Range:Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida glabrata, Hansenula saturnus, and Kluyveromyces thermotolerans (Clark-Walker and Weiller, 1994) Comments:GUG (GTG) is used as a start codon for a few proteins in some Saccharomyces species (Sulo et al. 2017). The remaining CGN codons are rare in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and absent in Candida glabrata (= Torulopsis glabrata). The AUA codon is common in the gene var1 coding for the single mitochondrial ribosomal protein, but rare in genes encoding the enzymes. The coding assignments of the AUA (Met or Ile) and CUU (possibly Leu, not Thr) are uncertain in Hansenula saturnus. The coding assignment of Thr to CUN is uncertain in Kluyveromyces thermotolerans (Clark-Walker and Weiller, 1994).Back to top 4.

Alternative Initiation Codons:Trypanosoma: UUA, UUG, CUG Leishmania: AUU, AUA Tertrahymena: AUU, AUA, AUG Paramecium: AUU, AUA, AUG, AUC, GUG, GUA(?) Systematic Range:Bacteria: The code is used in Entomoplasmatales and Mycoplasmatales (Bove et al. 1989). The situation in the Acholeplasmatales is unclear. Based on a study of ribosomal protein genes, it had been concluded that UGA does not code for tryptophan in plant-pathogenic mycoplasma-like organisms (MLO) and the Acholeplasmataceae (Lim and Sears, 1992) and there seems to be only a single tRNA-CCA for tryptophan in Acholeplasma laidlawii (Tanaka et al. 1989). In contrast, in a study of codon usage in Phytoplasmas, it was found that 30 out of 78 ORFs analyzed translated better with code 4 (UGA for tryptophan) than with code 11 while the remainder showed no differences between the two codes (Melamed et al. 2003). In addition, the coding reassignment of UGA Stop --> Trp can be found in an alpha-proteobacterial symbiont of cicadas: Candidatus Hodgkinia cicadicola (McCutcheon et al. 2009). Fungi: Emericella nidulans, Neurospora crassa, Podospora anserina, Acremonium (Fox, 1987), Candida parapsilosis (Guelin et al., 1991), Trichophyton rubrum (de Bievre and Dujon, 1992), Dekkera/Brettanomyces, Eeniella (Hoeben et al., 1993), and probably Ascobolus immersus, Aspergillus amstelodami, Claviceps purpurea, and Cochliobolus heterostrophus. Other Eukaryotes: Gigartinales among the red algae (Boyen et al. 1994), and the protozoa Trypanosoma brucei, Leishmania tarentolae, Paramecium tetraurelia, Tetrahymena pyriformis and probably Plasmodium gallinaceum (Aldritt et al., 1989). Metazoa: Coelenterata (Ctenophora and Cnidaria) Comments:This code is also used for the kinetoplast DNA (maxicircles, minicircles).

GUG may possibly function as an initiator in Drosophila (Clary and Wolstenholme, 1985; Gadaleta et al., 1988). AUU is not used as an initiator in Mytilus (Hoffmann et al., 1992). "An exceptional mechanism must operate for initiation of translation of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I mRNA in both D. melanogaster (de Bruijn, 1983) and D. yakuba (Clary and Wolstenholme 1983), since its only plausible initiation codon, AUA, is out of frame with the rest of the gene. Initiation appears to require the "reading" of of an AUAA quadruplet, which would be equivalent to initiation at AUA followed immediately by a specific ribosomal frameshift. Another possible mechanism ... is that the mRNA is "edited" to bring the AUA initiation into frame." (Fox, 1987)Back to top 6.

As in the standard code, initiation is most efficient at AUG. In addition, GUG and UUG starts are documented in Archaea and Bacteria (Kozak 1983, Fotheringham et al. 1986, Golderer et al. 1995, Nolling et al. 1995, Sazuka & Ohara 1996, Genser et al. 1998, Wang et al. 2003). In E. coli, UUG is estimated to serve as initiator for about 3% of the bacterium's proteins (Blattner et al. 1997). CUG is known to function as an initiator for one plasmid-encoded protein (RepA) in Escherichia coli (Spiers and Bergquist, 1992). In addition to the NUG initiations, in rare cases Bacteria can initiate translation from an AUU codon as e.g. in the case of poly(A) polymerase PcnB and the InfC gene that codes for translation initiation factor IF3 (Polard et al. 1991, Liveris et al. 1993, Sazuka & Ohara 1996, Binns & Masters 2002). The internal assignments are the same as in the standard code though UGA codes at low efficiency for Trp in Bacillus subtilis and, presumably, in Escherichia coli (Hatfiled and Diamond, 1993).Back to top 12.

CUG Ser Leu
Alternative Initiation Codons:CAG may be used in Candida albicans (Santos et al., 1993). Systematic Range and Comments:In code 12 the CUG codon has been reassigned from Leu to Ser (Santos et al., 2011, Mateus et al., 2013, Krassowski et al., 2018). This code is used by the fungal CUG-Ser1 and CUG-Ser2 clades that represent separate monophyletic lineages of the Saccharomycotina (Li et al., 2021). In the NCBI taxonomy, CUG-Ser1 currently comprises the three families Cephaloascaceae, Debaryomycetaceae and Metschnikowiaceae and the genus Babjeviella. The CUG-Ser1 clade includes important human pathogens like Candida albicans and the multidrug-resistant Candida auris. The CUG-Ser2 clade represents a parallel reassignment of CUG and includes species in the families Ascoideaceae and Saccharomycopsidaceae. Most other true yeasts (Saccharomycotina) use the standard code however.Back to top 13.

Systematic range and Comments:There is evidence from a phylogenetically diverse sample of tunicates (Urochordata) that AGA and AGG code for glycine. In other organisms, AGA/AGG code for either arginine or serine and in vertebrate mitochondria they code a STOP. Evidence for glycine translation of AGA/AGG has been found in Pyura stolonifera (Durrheim et al. 1993), Halocynthia roretzi (Kondow et al. 1999,Yokobori et al., 1993, Yokobori et al. 1999) and Ciona savignyi (Yokobori et al. 2003). In addition, the Halocynthia roretzi mitochondrial genome encodes an additional tRNA gene with the anticodon U*CU that is thought to enable the use of AGA or AGG codons for glycine and the gene has been shown to be transcribed in vivo (Kondow et al. 1999, Yokobori et al. 1999). Alternative initiation codons:ATA, GTG and TTG (Yokobori et al. 1999). ATT is the start codon for the CytB gene in Halocynthia roretzi (Gissi and Pesole, 2003).Back to top 14.

There are very few GenBank records that are translated with code 14 but a test translation shows that retranslating these records with code 9 can cause premature terminations.

Code 24 has been created for the mitochondrial genome of Rhabdopleura compacta (Pterobranchia). The Pterobranchia are one of the two groups in the Hemichordata which together with the Echinodermata and Chordata form the three major lineages of deuterostomes. AUA translates to isoleucine in Rhabdopleura as it does in the Echinodermata and Enteropneusta while AUA encodes methionine in the Chordata. The assignment of AGG to Lys is not found elsewhere in deuterostome mitochondria but it occurs in some taxa of Arthropoda (Perseke et al. 2011). Code 24 shares with many other mitochondrial codes the reassignment of the UGA STOP to Trp, and AGG and AGA to an amino acid other than Arg. The initiation codons in Rhabdopleura compacta are ATG and GTG (Perseke et al. 2011).Back to top 25.
