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 was first found in 1993 in Pyura stolonifera [1] and Halocynthia roretzi. [2] It was then confirmed by tRNA sequencing [3] and sequencing whole mitochondrial genomes. [4] [5]
Alternative initiation codons
- ATA, GTG and TTG [5]
- ATT is the start codon for the CytB gene in Halocynthia roretzi. [6]
