谈一下:有关“KOZAK CONSENSUS SEQUENCE”
I.Kozak Sequence
http://www.sciencegateway.org/resources/kozak.htm
Most eukaryotic mRNAs contain a short recognition sequence that greatly facilitate the initial binding of mRNA to the small subunit of the ribosome. The consensus sequence for initiation of translation in vertebrates (also called Kozak sequence) is:
ACCATGG
More general it is:
(GCC)RCCATGG
where R is a purine (A or G).
To improve expression levels, it may be advantageous to design the cloned insert according to Kozak's rules.

在构建表达载体时这个KOZAK CONSENSUS SEQUENCE因素还是好好考虑的。
