Kozak sequence in C. elegans

[Genie_V]

What’s the Kozak sequence in C. elegans?

How critical to have a Kozak sequence for expression?

Please see figure 9, page 144, in the RNA Processing and Gene Structure chapter by Thomas Blumenthal and Keith Steward in C. elegans II, online at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK20150/. Or the following link, which is an older reference: http://www.wormbook.org/wli/wbg11.2p77/. Maybe someone else will know of a reference more recent than 1997, though.

Please see figure 9, page 144, in the RNA Processing and Gene Structure chapter by Thomas Blumenthal and Keith Steward in C. elegans II, online at Translation Initiation and Termination Signals - C. elegans II - NCBI Bookshelf. Or the following link, which is an older reference: Preliminary Consensus for Translation Initiation in C. elegans. Maybe someone else will know of a reference more recent than 1997, though.

Thank you for the information! Very helpful!!
