Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in uncovering the origins of early translation. Yet, the evolution of translation factors - key regulators of protein synthesis - remains poorly understood. This review synthesizes recent findings on translation factors, highlighting their structural diversity, evolutionary history, and organism-specific adaptations across the tree of life. We examine conserved translation factors, their coevolution, and their roles in different steps in translation: initiation, elongation, and termination. The early evolution of translation factors serves as a natural link between modern genetics and the origins of life. Traditionally rooted in chemistry and geology, incorporating evolutionary molecular biology into the studies of life's emergence provides a complementary perspective on this complex question.</p>","PeriodicalId":54413,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Genetics","volume":" ","pages":"590-600"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12237606/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143712127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
