Force-sensitive arrest peptides regulate protein biosynthesis by stalling the ribosome as they are translated. Synthesis can be resumed when the nascent arrest peptide experiences a pulling force of sufficient magnitude to break the stall. Efficient stalling is dependent on the specific identity of a large number of amino acids, including amino acids which are tens of angstroms away from the peptidyl transferase center (PTC). The mechanism of force-induced restart and the role of these essential amino acids far from the PTC is currently unknown. We use hundreds of independent molecular dynamics trajectories spanning over 120 μs in combination with kinetic analysis to characterize the barriers along the force-induced restarting pathway for the arrest peptide SecM. We find that the essential amino acids far from the PTC play a major role in controlling the transduction of applied force. In successive states along the stall-breaking pathway, the applied force propagates up the nascent chain until it reaches the C-terminus of SecM and the PTC, inducing conformational changes that allow for restart of translation. A similar mechanism of force propagation through multiple states is observed in the VemP stall-breaking pathway, but secondary structure in VemP allows for heterogeneity in the order of transitions through intermediate states. Results from both arrest peptides explain how residues that are tens of angstroms away from the catalytic center of the ribosome impact stalling efficiency by mediating the response to an applied force and shielding the amino acids responsible for maintaining the stalled state of the PTC. Significance Statement As nascent proteins are synthesized by the ribosome, their interactions with the environment can create pulling forces on the nascent protein that can be transmitted to the ribosome’s catalytic center. These forces can affect the rate and even the outcome of translation. We use simulations to characterize the pathway of force transduction along arrest peptides and discover how secondary structure in the nascent protein and its interactions with the ribosome exit tunnel impede force propagation. This explains how amino acids in arrest peptides that are tens of angstroms away from the ribosome’s catalytic center contribute to stalling, and, more broadly, suggests how structural features in the nascent protein dictate the ribosome’s ability to functionally respond to its environment.
