Selective inhibition of human translation termination by a drug-like compound
The drug-like compound PF846 and its derivatives inhibit the translation of specific mRNAs by the human ribosome. Here the authors show how PF846 arrests translation at the stop codon by slowing hydrolysis of the protein nascent chain at the ribosome P-site tRNA by eukaryotic release factor 1 (eRF1)...
