translational termination
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
The process resulting in the release of a polypeptide chain from the ribosome, usually in response to a termination codon (UAA, UAG, or UGA in the universal genetic code). [GOC:hjd, ISBN:019879276X]
Translational termination is the final stage of protein synthesis, where the ribosome encounters a stop codon (UAA, UAG, or UGA) in the mRNA and releases the newly synthesized polypeptide chain. This process involves a series of steps:
1. **Recognition of the Stop Codon:** When the ribosome reaches a stop codon in the mRNA, it signals the termination of translation. Unlike other codons that specify amino acids, stop codons do not code for any amino acid. Instead, they are recognized by release factors (RFs).
2. **Release Factor Binding:** In eukaryotes, there are two release factors: eRF1 and eRF3. eRF1 recognizes all three stop codons and binds to the A site of the ribosome. eRF3 acts as a GTPase and facilitates the recruitment of eRF1.
3. **Hydrolysis of the Peptidyl-tRNA Bond:** Once eRF1 is bound to the stop codon, it triggers the hydrolysis of the ester bond between the polypeptide chain and the tRNA in the P site. This releases the newly synthesized protein from the ribosome.
4. **Ribosome Dissociation:** After the polypeptide is released, the ribosome dissociates into its subunits: the small subunit (40S) and the large subunit (60S). The mRNA is also released from the ribosome.
5. **Recycling of Ribosomal Subunits:** The small and large ribosomal subunits are recycled and can be used again for translation initiation.
In summary, translational termination is a crucial step in protein synthesis that ensures the accurate termination of translation and the release of the newly synthesized polypeptide chain. It is a highly regulated process that involves the recognition of stop codons, the binding of release factors, the hydrolysis of the peptidyl-tRNA bond, and the dissociation of the ribosome.'
