Name

MTRES1 Gene

mitochondrial transcription rescue factor 1

Enables ribosomal large subunit binding activity and tRNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of mitochondrial transcription and rescue of stalled ribosome. Located in mitochondrial matrix. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

MTRFR Gene

mitochondrial translation release factor in rescue

This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondrial matrix protein that appears to contribute to peptide chain termination in the mitochondrial translation machinery. Two different 1 bp deletions (resulting in the same premature stop codon)result in decreased mitochondrial translation, decreased levels of oxidative phosphorylation complexes and encepthalomyopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
