Gene: MTRF1
Official Full Name: mitochondrial translation release factor 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene was determined by in silico methods to be a mitochondrial protein with similarity to the peptide chain release factors (RFs) discovered in bacteria and yeast. The peptide chain release factors direct the termination of translation in response to the peptide chain termination codons. Initially thought to have a role in the termination of mitochondria protein synthesis, a recent publication found no mitochondrial translation release functionality. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been suggested by mRNA and EST data; however, their full-length natures are not clear. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

MTRF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that have undergone targeted gene modification to disrupt the expression of the MTRF1 (Mitochondrial Translational Release Factor 1) gene. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology or similar gene-editing mechanisms, these cell lines allow researchers to study the physiological and pathological roles of MTRF1 in various biological processes, particularly those linked to mitochondrial function, protein synthesis, and cellular energy metabolism.
The primary function of MTRF1 is to facilitate the release of newly synthesized polypeptides from mitochondrial ribosomes, a crucial step in mitochondrial translation. Disruption of MTRF1 expression can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, an important contributor to a wide range of diseases including neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic syndromes. By employing MTRF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers can elucidate the implications of MTRF1 deficiency and its wider context within mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics, and cellular stress responses.
The scientific significance of these cell lines extends to both basic and applied research. They serve as invaluable tools for investigating mitochondrial translation, screening drug candidates for mitochondrial-related diseases, and modeling human diseases in vitro. The ramifications of such research can lead to better understanding and potential therapeutic targets for mitochondrial dysfunction-associated conditions.
These cell lines offer several advantages over traditional models, including precise gene editing, reproducibility, and the ability to study disease mechanisms in a controlled environment. Unlike whole organism models or more rudimentary cell lines, MTRF1 Knockout Cell Lines provide a clearer insight into the specific molecular pathways affected by MTRF1 deletion, enabling researchers to derive more direct conclusions from their studies.
