Protein Family Models

The ribosome recycling factor (RRF / ribosome release factor) dissociates the ribosome from the mRNA after termination of translation, and is essential bacterial growth [1]. Thus ribosomes are "recycled" and ready for another round of protein synthesis. [1]. 8183897. Ribosome recycling factor (ribosome releasing factor) is essential for bacterial growth.

This model finds only eubacterial proteins. Mitochondrial and/or chloroplast forms might be expected but are not currently known. This protein was previously called ribosome releasing factor. By releasing ribosomes from mRNA at the end of protein biosynthesis, it prevents inappropriate translation from 3-prime regions of the mRNA and frees the ribosome for new rounds of translation. EGAD|53116|YHR038W is part of the frr superfamily.
