Abstract
Interferon gamma induces expression of a protein termed IFP 53 according to its molecular weight of 53 kDa. IFP 53 shows significant sequence homology to rabbit peptide chain release factor as well as to bovine tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase. IFP 53 has been shown to possess release factor activity for the UGA stop codon. We demonstrate here, by using a recombinant IFP 53 fusion protein, that IFP 53 tryptophanylates tRNA. These data indicate that IFP 53 is a protein with two activities: peptide chain termination and aminoacylation.Entities:
