  • is located in the mitochondrial matrix and tightly associated with the inner membrane
  • basic FUNCTION
  • being a small GTPase mediated signal transduction
  • probable function of GUF1 as a fidelity factor of mitochondrial protein synthesis
  • triggers back-translocation of the elongating ribosome, causing the translation machinery to move one codon backwards along the mRNA
  • it plays a critical role under suboptimal translation conditions
  • protein essential in conditions that counteract faithful protein synthesis: it is able to remobilize stuck ribosomes and transiently inhibit the elongation process to optimize protein synthesis
