Abstract excerpt
Translation is carried out by the ribosome and several associated protein factors through three consecutive steps: initiation, elongation, and termination. Termination remains the least understood of them, partly because of the nonuniversality of the factors involved. To get some insights on the evolution of eukaryotic translation termination, we have compared the phylogeny of the release factors eRF1 and eRF3 to...
