FunctionRL16_DEIRA Binds the 5S and 23S rRNAs and is also seen to make contacts with the A and P site tRNAs. Interacts with A site tRNA mimics, and is probably one of the key factors, along with a helix of the 23S rRNA, in positioning tRNA stems in the peptidyl-transferase center.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01342] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThis study presents the crystal structure of domain I of the Escherichia coli ribosome recycling factor (RRF) bound to the Deinococcus radiodurans 50S subunit. The orientation of RRF is consistent with the position determined on a 70S-RRF complex by cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM). Alignment, however, requires a rotation of 7 degrees and a shift of the cryo-EM RRF by a complete turn of an alpha-helix, redefining the contacts established with ribosomal components. At 3.3 A resolution, RRF is seen to interact exclusively with ribosomal elements associated with tRNA binding and/or translocation. Furthermore, these results now provide a high-resolution structural description of the conformational changes that were suspected to occur on the 70S-RRF complex, which has implications for the synergistic action of RRF with elongation factor G (EF-G). Specifically, the tip of the universal bridge element H69 is shifted by 20 A toward h44 of the 30S subunit, suggesting that RRF primes the intersubunit bridge B2a for the action of EF-G. Collectively, our data enable a model to be proposed for the dual action of EF-G and RRF during ribosome recycling.
