The ribosomal peptidyl transferase center is responsible for two fundamental reactions, peptide bond formation and nascent peptide release, during the elongation and termination phases of protein synthesis, respectively. We used in vitro genetics to investigate the functional importance of conserved 23S rRNA nucleotides located in the peptidyl transferase active site for transpeptidation and peptidyl-tRNA hydrolysis. While mutations at A2451, U2585, and C2063 (E. coli numbering) did not significantly affect either of the reactions, substitution of A2602 with C or its deletion abolished the ribosome ability to promote peptide release but had little effect on transpeptidation. This indicates that the mechanism of peptide release is distinct from that of peptide bond formation, with A2602 playing a critical role in peptide release during translation termination.
