Title	Evolutionary Instability of CUG-Leu in the Genetic Code of Budding Yeasts
Description	The standard genetic code is almost universal, and the evolutionary factors that caused a few organisms to deviate from it are poorly understood. We report that three independent changes of the genetic code occurred during the evolution of budding yeasts, each of which was a reassignment of the codon CUG from leucine to another amino acid. We identify five major yeast clades that differ by translating CUG as either Ser (2 clades), Ala (1 clade), or Leu (2 clades). The newly discovered Ser2 clade is in the final stages of transition from one genetic code to another. It appears to use only a novel tRNASer (tSCAG) to translate CUG codons, but the gene for the ancestral tRNALeu (tLCAG) is still intact in most species in the clade, consistent with the ‘ambiguous intermediate’ theory. We propose that the three parallel changes of the genetic code in yeasts were not driven by natural selection in favor of their effects on the proteome, but by selection to eliminate the ancestral tLCAG, possibly in response to a killer toxin.
