Phenotypes of a mutant
essential [Pubmed|12682299]The protein
Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
binds to the ribosome through specific recognition of messenger RNA stop codons and triggers hydrolysis of the bond between the nascent polypeptide and the transfer RNA at the peptidyl-tRNA site, thereby releasing the newly synthesized protein. PrfB is highly specific for a U in the first stop-codon position and recognizes UAA and UGAProtein family
