THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN EUKARYOTIC RELEASE FACTOR ERF1-MECHANISM OF STOP CODON RECOGNITION AND PEPTIDYL-TRNA HYDROLYSIS
Structural highlights
1dt9 is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
ERF1_HUMAN Directs the termination of nascent peptide synthesis (translation) in response to the termination codons UAA, UAG and UGA. Component of the transient SURF complex which recruits UPF1 to stalled ribosomes in the context of nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons.[1]
