This model represents the eEF1alpha-like C-terminal region of eRF3, which is homologous to the domain III of EF-Tu. eRF3 is a GTPase which enhances termination efficiency by stimulating eRF1 activity in a GTP-dependent manner. The C-terminal region is responsible for translation termination activity and is essential for viability. Saccharomyces cerevisiae eRF3 (Sup35p) is a translation termination factor which is divided into three regions: N, M and a C-terminal eEF1a-like region essential for translation termination. Sup35NM is a non-pathogenic prion-like protein with the property of aggregating into polymer-like fibrils.
