basic FUNCTION
| involved in regulation of mammalian cell growth |
|
mediating translation termination, and controling the formation of the termination complex by modulating ETF1 protein stability |
|
GSPT1 is the major factor acting in translation termination in mammals and GSPT2 can substitute for GSPT1 in this function  |
|
is a GTPase associated with ETF1 in a complex that mediates translation termination in eukaryotes  |
|
eukaryotic translation termination is mediated by two interacting release factors, ETF1 and GSPT1, which act cooperatively to ensure efficient stop codon recognition and fast polypeptide release  |
|
ETF1 recognizes the stop codon in the A site of the ribosome and promotes nascent peptide chain release, and the GTPase GSPT1 facilitates this peptide release via its interaction with ETF1  |
|
plays pivotal roles in translation termination and post-termination events including ribosome recycling and mRNA decay  |
|
could serve as a target in the regulation of gene expression  |
|
functional interplay between two release factors, ETF1 and GSPT1, involved in eukaryotic translation termination, and GTP hydrolysis by GSTP1 couples codon recognition with peptidyl-tRNA hydrolysis by ETF1  |
|
is a multifunctional protein that plays pivotal roles in translation termination as well as the initiation of mRNA decay, and also functions in the regulation of apoptosis  |
|
is a novel regulator of cell death  |
