Requirement of proteins S5 and S9 from 30S subunits for the ribosome-dependent GTPase activity of elongation factor G.

abstract：:To study the similarity between a putative cloned mammalian release factor (RF) and tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TRS), a recombinant rabbit RF fusion protein was expressed from prokaryotic expression vectors. Purified fractions of the fusion proteins were tested for TRS and RF activities. Addition of the fusion prote...
