Abstract excerpt
The translation termination factor eRF1 recognizes stop codons at the A site of the ribosome and induces peptidyl-tRNA hydrolysis at the peptidyl transferase centre. Recent data show that, besides translation, yeast eRF1 is also involved in cell cycle regulation. To clarify the mechanisms of non-translational functions of eRF1, we performed a genetic screen for its novel partner proteins. This screen revealed the...
