Structure of the Escherichia coli ribosomal termination complex with release factor 2

Article Abstract:

Release factor proteins adopt a different shape when attached to ribosomes, thus allowing them to recognize stop codons, according to researchers in Sweden, Denmark and the UK. The research was done with E. coli, but a similar mechanism of termination of RNA translation is likely to be found in eukaryotes, as well.

Functional proteomic identification of DNA replication proteins by induced proteolysis in vivo

Article Abstract:

The authors have investigated the functions of the conserved proteins from eukaryotic cells. They describe the approach developed to characterize these proteins, and report that the approach is based on rapid and conditional degradation of the target proteins in vivo.

Visualization of release factor 3 on the ribosome during termination of protein synthesis

Article Abstract:

Termination of protein synthesis by the ribosome requires two release factors (RF) classes. The class 2 RF3 is a GTPases that removes class 1 RFs from the ribosome after release of nascent polypeptide.
