translation release factor complex

Definition

Target type: cellularcomponent

A heterodimeric complex involved in the release of a nascent polypeptide chain from a ribosome. [ISBN:0198547684]

The translation release factor (RF) complex is a critical component of protein synthesis, responsible for terminating translation and releasing the newly synthesized polypeptide chain from the ribosome. This complex is composed of multiple proteins, and its cellular component can be described as follows:

1. **Ribosome**: The RF complex interacts with the ribosome, specifically with the A-site of the large ribosomal subunit (60S in eukaryotes). The ribosome provides the framework for translation and ensures proper positioning of the RF complex within the mRNA-ribosome complex.

2. **mRNA**: The RF complex binds to a stop codon in the mRNA, signaling the termination of translation. The specific stop codon dictates which RF factor will bind.

3. **Release factors (eRF1 and eRF3 in eukaryotes)**: These proteins are the core components of the RF complex. eRF1 recognizes the stop codon and triggers the release of the polypeptide chain. eRF3 acts as a GTPase, facilitating the recruitment of eRF1 to the ribosome and stimulating its activity.

4. **GTP**: GTP provides energy for the release of the polypeptide chain.

5. **Other factors**: In addition to the core components, other factors may be involved in the RF complex, such as ribosome recycling factors (RRFs) and eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIFs). These factors contribute to the disassembly of the ribosome and the recycling of its components for subsequent translation rounds.

In summary, the cellular component of the translation release factor complex consists of the ribosome, mRNA, release factors (eRF1 and eRF3), GTP, and potentially other auxiliary factors. This complex acts as a molecular machine to ensure the precise termination of protein synthesis and the release of newly synthesized proteins from the ribosome.'
