Mechanism of Translation Termination: RF1 Dissociation Follows Dissociation of RF3 from the Ribosome.
Biochemistry - 15 Nov 2016
Shi Xinying, Joseph Simpson
Abstract excerpt
Release factors 1 and 2 (RF1 and RF2, respectively) bind to ribosomes that have a stop codon in the A site and catalyze the release of the newly synthesized protein. Following peptide release, the dissociation of RF1 and RF2 from the ribosome is accelerated by release factor 3 (RF3). The mechanism for RF3-promoted dissociation of RF1 and RF2 is unclear. It was previously proposed that RF3 hydrolyzes GTP and...
