Abstract excerpt
The translation release factors (RFs) RF1 and RF2 of Escherichia coli are methylated at the N5-glutamine of the GGQ motif by PrmC methyltransferase. This motif is conserved in organisms from bacteria to higher eukaryotes. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RFs, mitochondrial Mrf1p and cytoplasmic Sup45p (eRF1), have sequence similarities to the bacterial RFs, including the potential site of glutamine methylation in the...
