Title Interactions between peptidyl tRNA hydrolase homologs and the ribosomal release factor Mrf1 in S. pombe mitochondria.
Journal Mitochondrion
Abstract Mitochondrial translation synthesizes key subunits of the respiratory complexes. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, strains lacking Mrf1, the mitochondrial stop codon recognition factor, are viable, suggesting that other factors can play a role in translation termination. S. pombe contains four predicted peptidyl tRNA hydrolases, two of which (Pth3 and Pth4), have a GGQ motif that is conserved in class I release factors. We show that high dosage of Pth4 can compensate for the absence of Mrf1 and loss of Pth4 exacerbates the lack of Mrf1. Also Pth4 is a component of the mitochondrial ribosome, suggesting that it could help recycling stalled ribosomes.
