molecular function |
| GO:0003723 | | RNA binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an RNA molecule or a portion thereof. |
| GO:0043022 | | ribosome binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any part of a ribosome. |
| GO:0003746 | | translation elongation factor activity | | Functions in chain elongation during polypeptide synthesis at the ribosome. |
| GO:0003743 | | translation initiation factor activity | | Functions in the initiation of ribosome-mediated translation of mRNA into a polypeptide. |
biological process |
| GO:0045901 | | positive regulation of translational elongation | | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of translational elongation. |
| GO:0045905 | | positive regulation of translational termination | | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of translational termination. |
| GO:0006412 | | translation | | The cellular metabolic process in which a protein is formed, using the sequence of a mature mRNA or circRNA molecule to specify the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. Translation is mediated by the ribosome, and begins with the formation of a ternary complex between aminoacylated initiator methionine tRNA, GTP, and initiation factor 2, which subsequently associates with the small subunit of the ribosome and an mRNA or circRNA. Translation ends with the release of a polypeptide chain from the ribosome. |
| GO:0006452 | | translational frameshifting | | A mechanism whereby different proteins may result from a single mRNA molecule, due to a change in the parsing of three nucleotides per codon relative to an initiating AUG codon. |
| GO:0006413 | | translational initiation | | The process preceding formation of the peptide bond between the first two amino acids of a protein. This includes the formation of a complex of the ribosome, mRNA or circRNA, and an initiation complex that contains the first aminoacyl-tRNA. |
