Gene - 27 Oct 2004

Abstract excerpt
Translation termination is mediated in all eukaryotes by the two release factors eRF1 and eRF3. Most organisms have a single eRF1 gene, however, three isogenes of eRF1 are found in Arabidopsis thaliana. They have no introns in the coding region which may indicate that some are pseudogenes. However, each was expressed and able to rescue a temperature sensitive eRF1-mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae indicating...
