Crystal structure of E.coli polypeptide release factor RF3Crystal structure of E.coli polypeptide release factor RF3
Structural highlights
2h5e is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
RF3_ECOLI Increases the formation of ribosomal termination complexes and stimulates activities of RF-1 and RF-2. It binds guanine nucleotides and has strong preference for UGA stop codons. It may interact directly with the ribosome. The stimulation of RF-1 and RF-2 is significantly reduced by GTP and GDP, but not by GMP.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00072]
