Abstract
Translation termination involves release factors RF1, RF2 and the GTPase RF3 that recycles RF1 and RF2 from the ribosome. RF3 dissociates from the ribosome in the GDP-bound form and must then exchange GDP for GTP. The 70S ribosome termination complex (70S-TC) accelerates GDP exchange in RF3, suggesting that the 70S-TC can function as the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for RF3. Here, we use cryogenic-electron microscopy to elucidate the mechanism of GDP dissociation from RF3 catalyzed by the Escherichia coli 70S-TC. The non-rotated ribosome bound to RF1 remodels RF3 and induces a peptide flip in the phosphate-binding loop, efficiently ejecting GDP. Binding of GTP allows RF3 to dock at the GTPase center, promoting the dissociation of RF1 from the ribosome. The structures recapitulate the functional cycle of RF3 on the ribosome and uncover the mechanism by which the 70S-TC allosterically dismantles the phosphate-binding groove in RF3, a previously overlooked function of the ribosome.
期刊介绍：
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a monthly journal that focuses on the functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together. It serves as an integrated forum for structural and molecular studies. The journal places a strong emphasis on the functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together. Some specific areas of interest include the structure and function of proteins, nucleic acids, and other macromolecules, DNA replication, repair and recombination, transcription, regulation of transcription and translation, protein folding, processing and degradation, signal transduction, and intracellular signaling.
