The paper shows that Orb2 regulates rare-codon-enriched mRNA expression in Drosophila neurons, impacting mGluR function and social behavior.

The paper identifies tissue-specific responses to rare codons in Drosophila, showing unique expression capabilities in testis and brain and a role for rare codons in restricting protein expression in the testis.

The paper identifies RpS21 as a signal strength-dependent regulator of the Ras/MAPK pathway using codon usage manipulation in Drosophila.
