Human mtRF1 terminates COX1 translation and its ablation induces mitochondrial ribosome-associated quality control

How translation termination is achieved for the non-conventional mtDNA-encoded COX1 and ND6 was so far unknown. Here, Nadler et al. address this question by assessing the functions and specificity of the mitochondrial release factors mtRF1 and mtRF1a.
