lüll Origins of gene, genetic code, protein and life: comprehensive view of life systems from a GNC-SNS primitive genetic code hypothesis Ikehara KJ Biosci 2002[Mar]; 27 (2): 165-86We have investigated the origin of genes, the genetic code, proteins and life using six indices (hydropathy, alpha-helix, beta-sheet and beta-turn formabilities, acidic amino acid content and basic amino acid content) necessary for appropriate three-dimensional structure formation of globular proteins. From the analysis of microbial genes, we have concluded that newly-born genes are products of nonstop frames (NSF) on antisense strands of microbial GC-rich genes [GC-NSF(a)] and from SNS repeating sequences [(SNS)n] similar to the GC-NSF(a) (S and N mean G or C and either of four bases, respectively). We have also proposed that the universal genetic code used by most organisms on the earth presently could be derived from a GNC-SNS primitive genetic code. We have further presented the [GADV]-protein world hypothesis of the origin of life as well as a hypothesis of protein production, suggesting that proteins were originally produced by random peptide formation of amino acids restricted in specific amino acid compositions termed as GNC-, SNS- and GC-NSF(a)-0th order structures of proteins. The [GADV]-protein world hypothesis is primarily derived from the GNC-primitive genetic code hypothesis. It is also expected that basic properties of extant genes and proteins could be revealed by considerations based on the scenario with four stages.|*Genes[MESH]|*Genetic Code[MESH]|*Origin of Life[MESH]|Amino Acids/metabolism[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Biological Evolution[MESH]|Evolution, Molecular[MESH]|Exons/genetics[MESH]|Mitochondria/genetics[MESH]|Models, Genetic[MESH]|Protein Structure, Secondary[MESH]|Proteins/*chemistry/genetics[MESH]|RNA/genetics/metabolism[MESH] |
