Eukaryotic translation termination results from the complex functional interplay between two eukaryotic release factors, eRF1 and eRF3, and the ribosome, in which GTP hydrolysis by eRF3 couples codon recognition with peptidyl-tRNA hydrolysis by eRF1. Here, using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and flexible fitting, we determined the structure of eRF1-eRF3-guanosine 5'-[β,γ-imido]triphosphate (GMPPNP)-bound ribosomal pretermination complex (pre-TC), which corresponds to the initial, pre-GTP hy ...[more]
