translation release factor activity
Definition
Target type: molecularfunction
Involved in catalyzing the release of a nascent polypeptide chain from a ribosome. [ISBN:0198547684]
Translation release factor activity is a crucial step in protein synthesis, marking the end of translation and ensuring the proper termination of polypeptide chains. It is a molecular function associated with proteins known as release factors, which bind to stop codons in mRNA during translation. Stop codons signal the termination of protein synthesis, and release factors recognize these codons and trigger the release of the newly synthesized polypeptide chain from the ribosome. This process is essential for the proper formation of functional proteins. Release factors accomplish this by: 1. Binding to the ribosome at the A site, where the stop codon is located. 2. Hydrolyzing the peptidyl tRNA bond in the P site, releasing the polypeptide chain from the ribosome. 3. Promoting the dissociation of the ribosomal subunits. The release factors in eukaryotes are eRF1 and eRF3, while in prokaryotes, they are RF1, RF2, and RF3. RF1 and RF2 recognize different stop codons (UAA and UAG, or UGA and UAA, respectively), while RF3 plays a role in the recycling of the release factors and ribosome. This intricate process of translation termination ensures accurate protein synthesis and is crucial for cell function and organismal development.'
