Proteins contacting (directly interacting) with peptidyl-tRNA in the A-site of E. coli ribosome were determined by means of ultraviolet-induced RNA-protein cross-linking. It has been shown that upon enzymatic binding of Phe-tRNAPhe with the posttranslocated ribosome and following transpeptidation, the peptidyl-tRNAPhe directly interacts with proteins S5, S10, L6, L16 and S13/S14/L27, while upon non-enzymatic binding--with S5, S10, L2, L6 and L16. These data evidenced, that the difference in tRNA-protein interactions upon enzymatic and non-enzymatic binding of Phe-tRNAPhe to the ribosome does not prevent the following step and remains after transpeptidation.

Eukaryotic release factor eRF1, encoded by the gene, recognizes stop codons and induces peptide release during translation termination. produces several different transcripts as a result of alternative splicing, from which two eRF1 isoforms can be formed. Isoform 1 codes well-studied canonical eRF1, and isoform 2 is 33 amino acid residues shorter than isoform 1 and completely unstudied.

Nascent polypeptide chains can induce translational stalling to regulate gene expression. This is exemplified by the E. coli secretion monitor (SecM) arrest peptide that induces translational stalling to regulate expression of the downstream encoded SecA, an ATPase that co-operates with the SecYEG translocon to facilitate insertion of proteins into or through the cytoplasmic membrane.

In the ribosome assembly factor Reh1 binds to pre-60S subunits at a late stage during their cytoplasmic maturation. Previous work shows that the C-terminus of Reh1 inserts into the polypeptide exit tunnel (PET) of the pre-60S subunit.

Hydrolysis-resistant RNA-peptide conjugates that mimic peptidyl-tRNAs are frequently needed for structural and functional studies of protein synthesis in the ribosome. Such conjugates are accessible by chemical solid-phase synthesis, allowing for the utmost flexibility of both the peptide and the RNA sequence. Commonly used protection group strategies, however, have severe limitations with respect to generating the characteristic -formylmethionyl terminus because the formyl group of the conjugate synthesized at the solid support is easily cleaved during the final basic deprotection/release step.

is an obligate intracellular parasite whose tachyzoite form causes disease via a lytic growth cycle. Its metabolic and cellular pathways are primarily designed to ensure parasite survival within a host cell. But during its lytic cycle, tachyzoites are exposed to the extracellular milieu and prolonged exposure requires activation of stress response pathways that include reprogramming the parasite proteome.
