Candidate division SR1 and gracilibacteria code

The candidate division SR1 and gracilibacteria code (translation table 25) is used in two groups of (so far) uncultivated bacteria found in marine and fresh-water environments and in the intestines and oral cavities of mammals among others[1]. The difference to the standard and the bacterial code is that UGA represents an additional glycine codon and does not code for termination.[2]

The code

AAs = FFLLSSSSYY**CCGWLLLLPPPPHHQQRRRRIIIMTTTTNNKKSSRRVVVVAAAADDEEGGGG

Starts = ---M-------------------------------M---------------M------------

Base1 = TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Base2 = TTTTCCCCAAAAGGGGTTTTCCCCAAAAGGGGTTTTCCCCAAAAGGGGTTTTCCCCAAAAGGGG

Base3 = TCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAGTCAG

Bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T) or uracil (U).

Amino acids: Alanine (Ala, A), Arginine (Arg, R), Asparagine (Asn, N), Aspartic acid (Asp, D), Cysteine (Cys, C), Glutamic acid (Glu, E), Glutamine (Gln, Q), Glycine (Gly, G), Histidine (His, H), Isoleucine (Ile, I), Leucine (Leu, L), Lysine (Lys, K), Methionine (Met, M), Phenylalanine (Phe, F), Proline (Pro, P), Serine (Ser, S), Threonine (Thr, T), Tryptophan (Trp, W), Tyrosine (Tyr, Y), and Valine (Val, V).

Difference from the standard code

DNA codon	RNA codon	This code (25)		Standard code (1)
`TGA`	`UGA`	`Gly` `(G)`		`STOP = Ter` `(*)`

Initiation codons

AUG, GUG, UUG

Systematic range

gollark: mafs

gollark: 1 + 1 → murder is bad

gollark: Like Christians.

gollark: No, you can *arbitrarily pick* some system and SAY it's objectively right.

gollark: "Objective" morality is ridiculous, how would some moral system be *objectively correct*?
