Abstract excerpt
Peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase in Escherichia coli, encoded by pth, is essential for recycling tRNA molecules sequestered as peptidyl-tRNA as a result of pre-mature dissociation from the ribosome during translation. Genes homologous to pth are present in other bacteria, yeast and man, but not in archaea. The homologous gene in Bacillus subtilis, spoVC, was first identified as a gene involved in sporulation. A second...
