Abstract | Although multiple studies have addressed the effects of codon usage on gene expression, such studies were typically performed in unspliced model genes. In the human genome, most genes undergo splicing and patterns of codon usage are splicing-dependent: guanine and cytosine (GC) content is highest within single-exon genes and within first exons of multi-exon genes. Intrigued by this observation, we measured the effects of splicing on expression in a panel of synonymous variants of GFP and mKate2 reporter genes that varied in nucleotide composition. We found that splicing promotes the expression of adenine and thymine (AT)-rich variants by increasing their steady-state protein and mRNA levels, in part through promoting cytoplasmic localization of mRNA. Splicing had little or no effect on the expression of GC-rich variants. In the absence of splicing, high GC content at the 5' end, but not at the 3' end of the coding sequence positively correlated with expression. Among endogenous human protein-coding transcripts, GC content has a more positive effect on various expression measures of unspliced, relative to spliced mRNAs. We propose that splicing promotes the expression of AT-rich genes, leading to selective pressure for the retention of introns in the human genome. |
