In human this subunit has been found to be in the ribosome by xray crystallography
https://europepmc.org/article/MED/25278503 Is this really inconsistent that a ribosomal subunit would act as a release factor?
It is a tRNA release factor associated with the mitochondrial ribosome. It is ribosome binding but I don't think it is considered as part of the ribosome. I'm checking with an expert.
I don't see it in Figure 1. of the Ramakrishnan paper, where do you see it?
uniprot product calls it Peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase ICT1, mitochondrial I think the name might be just historical.
Actually
"A functional peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase, ICT1, has been recruited into the human mitochondrial ribosome." Richter R., Rorbach J., Pajak A., Smith P.M., Wessels H.J., Huynen M.A., Smeitink J.A., Lightowlers R.N., Chrzanowska-Lightowlers Z.M. EMBO J. 29:1116-1125(2010)
...but this contrast with information I received recently. I'll get back to you.
Its Fig 3B. The gene is labeled ICT1.
OK, I won't filter this. If things change (there is an upcoming paper),I will reopen.
Great, thanks.
pth4 is a translation release factor, not a ribosomal subunit
