Translational efficiency of an AUG, CUG, GUG, or UUG initiation codon was measured for the naturally leaderless cI mRNA from bacteriophage lambda. In a cI-lacZ translational fusion, only AUG supported a high level of expression; GUG supported a low level of expression, while UUG and CUG expression was barely above background levels. Addition of an untranslated lac leader and Shine-Dalgarno sequence to cI increased expression but still showed a dependence on an AUG for maximum expression. cI-lacZ mRNA with an AUG initiation codon showed a greater in vitro ribosome binding strength and a higher level of full-length in vivo mRNA, suggesting that the initiation codon is an important determinant of ribosome binding strength and translational efficiency for mRNA with or without the 5' untranslated leader.
