THE PROTEIN FACTOR S, PREVIOUSLY SHOWN TO STIMULATE POLYPEPTIDE CHAIN TERMINATION IN BACTERIAL EXTRACTS, HAS TWO EFFECTS UPON THE COMPLEX FORMED BETWEEN RIBOSOMES, RELEASE FACTOR, AND TERMINATOR (TRINUCLEOTIDE) CODON: (1) in the absence of GTP or GDP, S stimulates formation of an [R.UAA.ribosome] intermediate, and (2) in the presence of GTP or GDP, S participates in dissociation of this intermediate. Factor S can stimulate fMet release from [fMet-tRNA(f).AUG.ribosome] intermediates in either the presence or absence of GTP or GDP. A model is proposed which relates the in vitro effects of S +/- GTP (or GDP) on fMet release to the effects of S +/- GTP (or GDP) on the binding and dissociation of R factor from ribosomes.
蛋白质因子S,先前已证明可刺激细菌提取物中的多肽链终止,它对核糖体、释放因子和终止子(三核苷酸)密码子之间形成的复合物有两种作用:(1)在没有GTP或GDP的情况下,S刺激[R.UAA.核糖体]中间体的形成,(2)在有GTP或GDP的情况下,S参与该中间体的解离。无论有无GTP或GDP,因子S都能刺激[fMet-tRNA(f).AUG.核糖体]中间体释放fMet。本文提出了一个模型,将S±GTP(或GDP)对fMet释放的体外作用与S±GTP(或GDP)对R因子与核糖体结合和解离的作用联系起来。
