'''THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN EUKARYOTIC RELEASE FACTOR ERF1-MECHANISM OF STOP CODON RECOGNITION AND PEPTIDYL-TRNA HYDROLYSIS'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
The release factor eRF1 terminates protein biosynthesis by recognizing, stop codons at the A site of the ribosome and stimulating peptidyl-tRNA, bond hydrolysis at the peptidyl transferase center. The crystal structure, of human eRF1 to 2.8 A resolution, combined with mutagenesis analyses of, the universal GGQ motif, reveals the molecular mechanism of release factor, activity. The overall shape and dimensions of eRF1 resemble a tRNA, molecule with domains 1, 2, and 3 of eRF1 corresponding to the anticodon, loop, aminoacyl acceptor stem, and T stem of a tRNA molecule, respectively. The position of the essential GGQ motif at an exposed tip of, domain 2 suggests that the Gln residue coordinates a water molecule to, mediate the hydrolytic activity at the peptidyl transferase center. A, conserved groove on domain 1, 80 A from the GGQ motif, is proposed to form, the codon recognition site.
