Mechanism of ribosome rescue by ArfA and RF2
ArfA rescues ribosomes stalled on truncated mRNAs by recruiting release factor RF2, which normally binds stop codons to catalyze peptide release. We report two 3.2 Å resolution cryo-EM structures - determined from a single sample - of the 70S ribosome with ArfA•RF2 in the A site. In both states, the ArfA C-terminus occupies the mRNA tunnel downstream of the A site. One state contains a compact ...
متن کاملRibosome Structure and the Mechanism of Translation
The publication of crystal structures of the 50S and 30S ribosomal subunits and the intact 70S ribosome is revolutionizing our understanding of protein synthesis. This review is an attempt to correlate the structures with biochemical and genetic data to identify the gaps and limits in our current knowledge of the mechanisms involved in translation.
متن کاملStructure of a mitochondrial ribosome with minimal RNA.
The Leishmania tarentolae mitochondrial ribosome (Lmr) is a minimal ribosomal RNA (rRNA)-containing ribosome. We have obtained a cryo-EM map of the Lmr. The map reveals several features that have not been seen in previously-determined structures of eubacterial or eukaryotic (cytoplasmic or organellar) ribosomes to our knowledge. Comparisons of the Lmr map with X-ray crystallographic and cryo-EM...
متن کاملThe ribosome filter hypothesis.
A variety of posttranscriptional mechanisms affects the processing, subcellular localization, and translation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Translational control appears to occur primarily at the initiation rather than the elongation stage. It has been suggested that translation is mediated largely by means of a cap-binding/scanning mechanism. On the basis of recent findings, we propose here that ...
متن کاملRibosome Rescue, Nearing the End
In eukaryotes, Dom34 is involved in the rescue of ribosomes that stall on mRNAs during protein synthesis. Using ribosome profiling, Guydosh and Green reveal that, in addition to rescue of ribosomes stalled on truncated mRNAs, Dom34 also recycles ribosomes that are unexpectedly found in the 3' untranslated regions of many cellular mRNAs.
