Phenotypes of a mutant

• essential in the absence of trans-translation ([gene|5C12BB19B975F7FEBCFA119DAC66338C20FCECFA|ssrA], [gene|D19519B5A776D6E8EC2BFE7A7D67469CA0A6459A|smpB]) [pubmed|31776341]

The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• binds to non-stop stalled ribosomes, recruits homologous [protein|12E06FD3A36D95AE82E3C65788FA98178039592F|RF2], but not [protein|59E6468FD891F5271F38543515867B0B4625768D|RF1], and induces its transition into an open active conformation [pubmed|31776341]
