Release factors (RFs) govern the termination phase of protein synthesis. Human mitochondria harbor four different members of the class 1 RF family: RF1Lmt/mtRF1a, RF1mt, C12orf65 and ICT1. The homolog of the essential ICT1 factor is widely distributed in bacteria and organelles and has the peculiar feature in human mitochondria to be part of the ribosome as a ribosomal protein of the large subunit. The factor has been suggested to rescue stalled ribosomes in a codon-independent manner. The mechanism of action of this factor was obscure and is addressed here. Using a homologous mitochondria system of purified components, we demonstrate that the integrated ICT1 has no rescue activity. Rather, purified ICT1 binds stoichiometrically to mitochondrial ribosomes in addition to the integrated copy and functions as a general rescue factor, i.e. it releases the polypeptide from the peptidyl tRNA from ribosomes stalled at the end or in the middle of an mRNA or even from non-programmed ribosomes. The data suggest that the unusual termination at a sense codon (AGA/G) of the oxidative-phosphorylation enzymes CO1 and ND6 is also performed by ICT1 challenging a previous model, according to which RF1Lmt/mtRF1a is responsible for the translation termination at non-standard stop codons. We also demonstrate by mutational analyses that the unique insertion sequence present in the N-terminal domain of ICT1 is essential for peptide release rather than for ribosome binding. The function of RF1mt, another member of the class1 RFs in mammalian mitochondria, was also examined and is discussed. Mammalian mitochondrial ICT1, a bacterial ArfB homolog, is interestingly an integral component of the mitoribosome (MRPL58). The mechanism of ribosome rescue by this factor was obscure and is addressed here. Utilizing a homologous mitochondria system of purified components we demonstrate that the integrated ICT1 has no rescue activity, as opposed to a previous model. Rather, purified ICT1 added to mitoribosomes has a general rescue activity; it recycles ribosomes stalled at the end or in the middle of mRNAs and can even hydrolyze peptidyl-tRNA bound to non-programmed ribosomes. These results further imply that ICT1 can function in the translation termination at non-standard stop codons AGA/G in mammalian mitochondria. Our data challenge a previous model claiming that RF1Lmt/mtRF1a is responsible for the translation termination at non-standard stop codons. A mutational study indicates that the unique insertion sequence in ICT1 is essential for peptide release. The function of RF1mt, another member of the class1 RFs in mammalian mitochondria, was also examined and is discussed.
