The requirement for ribosomal proteins L7 and L12 in peptide-chain termination

N Brot et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1974 Jan.

Abstract

Proteins L7 and L12 from 50S ribosomal subunits of Escherichia coli are required for peptidechain termination. This termination process is inhibited by thiostrepton. Since both thiostrepton-treated ribosomes and those depleted of L7 and L12 have a markedly reduced ability to form release factor.UA[(3)H]A.ribosome complexes, the binding of release factors to the ribosome appears to be the primary site of inhibition.
