Ribosome editing and the error catastrophe hypothesis of cellular aging
Abstract
Ribosome editing involves the dissociation during protein synthesis of inappropriate peptidyl-tRNA's, ones whose structure does not correctly complement the codon of the mRNA. This process is one of three stages in protein biosynthesis in which the frequency of errors in cellular proteins is controlled. These stages are reviewed and the implications of ribosome editing are described. A model for stability of the translation apparatus is criticized. Calculations using a revision of the model and experimentally reasonable values for the various parameters show varying time courses for error catastrophes.
