Class-I release factors lacking the domain 1.

<p>This is a comment by an author who wish to mention recently published data relevant to this article.</p><p>A paper describing the complete genome of the bacterial endosymbiont <i>Carsonella ruddii</i> has been published in Science on the 13th of October (Nakabachi et al. 2006. Science 314:267). Apparently, the class-I release factors from this specie lack the domain 1. RF1 omits it entirely, while in RF2, if it exists, it is significantly truncated. This further underpins the idea discussed in this manuscript that the domain 1 is not obligatory in bacterial class-I RFs. </p><p>It is worth noticing that <i>C. ruddii</i> RFs have unusual “tripeptide anticodons”, <b>PKS</b> in RF1 and <b>NPL</b> in RF2.</p>Pavel Baranov2006-11-01T00:00:00Z
