RAPP-containing arrest peptides induce translational stalling by short circuiting the ribosomal peptidyltransferase activity

Abstract Arrest peptides containing RAPP (ArgAlaProPro) motifs have been discovered in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, where they are thought to regulate expression of important protein localization machinery components. Here we determine cryo-EM structures of ribosomes stalled on RAP...
