Mtt1 is a Upf1-like helicase that interacts with the translation termination factors and whose overexpression can modulate termination efficiency

Abstract: Translation termination is the final step that completes the synthesis of a polypeptide. Premature translation termination by introduction of a nonsense mutation leads to the synthesis of a truncated protein. We report the identification and characterization of the product of the MTT1 gene, a helicase belonging to the Upf1-like family of helicases that is involved in modulating translation termination. MTT1 is homologous to UPF1, a factor previously shown to function in both mRNA turnover and translation termi… Show more

“…Although genetic data suggest a functional relationship between eRF3 and Hsp104 (14), a physical interaction between these proteins could not be demonstrated (84). Upf1-like helicase Mtt1 also interacts with eRF3, but the domain of interaction within eRF3 was not precisely localized; two interaction domains were described previously (20).…”

“…Upf2p and Upf3p have been shown previously to interact only with the release factor eRF3 (99). Recently another protein, the product of the MTT1 gene, modulating the efficiency of translation termination and interacting with eRF3, was described (20). Also it has been shown previously that the Sla1 protein, involved in the assembly of cortical actin cytoskeleton, interacts with the prion-forming domain of eRF3 in yeast (4).…”

“…In contrast, in an in vivo system, uncountable numbers of other essential components are present. First of all, the class-II termination factor, eRF3, Upf proteins known to interact with termination factors in vivo and in vitro (33), natural mRNA (it is well known that termination in vivo strongly depends on the context of stop codons; ref. 34), numerous tRNAs that compete with eRF1 for the A site binding.…”
