40S ribosome profiling reveals distinct roles for Tma20/Tma22 (MCT-1/DENR) and Tma64 (eIF2D) in 40S subunit recycling
Abstract
Following the termination of translation at stop codons, the eukaryotic 60S subunit of the ribosome is removed by the ATPase ABCE1. Here using 40S ribosome footprinting the authors provide a direct demonstration that the yeast orthologs of eIF2D, MCT-1, and DENR recycle the 40S subunits.
