Abstract
Incompletely made nascent chains are tagged for proteolysis by ribosome-associated quality control (RQC). In bacterial RQC, this is mediated by C-terminal alanine tailing. Filbeck et al. elucidate the structural basis for alanine tailing using cryo-EM, discover Hsp15/RqcP as an essential factor, and reveal that C-terminal tailing follows similar principles to canonical translation elongation.
