Synonymous codons are not used equally in many organisms, and the extent of
codon bias varies among loci. Earlier studies have suggested that more
highly expressed loci in Drosophila melanogaster are more biased,
consistent with findings from several prokaryotes and unicellular
eukaryotes that codon bias is partly due to natural selection for
translational efficiency. We link this model of varying selection intensity
to the population-genetics prediction that the effectiveness of natural
selection is decreased under reduced recombination. In analyses of 385 D.
melanogaster loci, we find that codon bias is reduced in regions of low
recombination (i.e., near centromeres and telomeres and on the fourth
chromosome). The effect does not appear to be a linear function of
recombination rate; rather, it seems limited to regions with the very
lowest levels of recombination. The large majority of the genome apparently
experiences recombination at a sufficiently high rate for effective natural
selection against suboptimal codons. These findings support models of the
Hill-Robertson effect and genetic hitchhiking and are largely consistent
with multiple reports of low levels of DNA sequence variation in regions of
low recombination.
