  2. Termination factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termination_factor

    In molecular biology, a termination factor is a protein that mediates the termination of RNA transcription by recognizing a transcription terminator and causing the release of the newly made mRNA. This is part of the process that regulates the transcription of RNA to preserve gene expression integrity and are present in both eukaryotes and ...

  3. Eukaryotic translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_translation

    The process is similar to that of bacterial termination, but unlike bacterial termination, there is a universal release factor, eRF1, that recognizes all three stop codons. Upon termination, the ribosome is disassembled and the completed polypeptide is released. eRF3 is a ribosome-dependent GTPase that helps eRF1 release the completed polypeptide.

  4. Release factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_factor

    A release factor is a protein that allows for the termination of translation by recognizing the ... identification and a more detailed view of the process. [13 ...

  5. Translational regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translational_regulation

    The termination of translation requires coordination between release factor proteins, the mRNA sequence, and ribosomes. Once a termination codon is read, release factors RF-1, RF-2, and RF-3 contribute to the hydrolysis of the growing polypeptide, which terminates the chain. Bases downstream the stop codon affect the activity of these release ...

  6. Translation (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(biology)

    The process of amino acid building to create protein in translation is a subject of various physic models for a long time starting from the first detailed kinetic models such as [26] or others taking into account stochastic aspects of translation and using computer simulations. Many chemical kinetics-based models of protein synthesis have been ...

  7. Eukaryotic translation termination factor 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_translation...

    Eukaryotic translation termination factor 1 (eRF1), also referred to as TB3-1 or SUP45L1, is a protein that is encoded by the ERF1 gene. In Eukaryotes, eRF1 is an essential protein involved in stop codon recognition in translation , termination of translation, and nonsense mediated mRNA decay via the SURF complex.

  8. Rho factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rho_factor

    A Rho factor acts on an RNA substrate. Rho's key function is its helicase activity, for which energy is provided by an RNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis. The initial binding site for Rho is an extended (~70 nucleotides, sometimes 80–100 nucleotides) single-stranded region, rich in cytosine and poor in guanine, called the rho utilisation site (rut), in the RNA being synthesised, upstream of the ...

  9. Termination signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termination_signal

    Once RNA polymerase reaches the termination signal, transcription is terminated. [1] In bacteria, there are two main types of termination signals: intrinsic and factor-dependent terminators. [1] In the context of translation, a termination signal is the stop codon on the mRNA that elicits the release of the growing peptide from the ribosome. [2]
