Knockout of the mitoribosome rescue factors Ict1 or Mtrfr is viable in zebrafish but not mice: compensatory mechanisms underlying each factor's loss by Nobukazu Nameki, Chika Tomisawa, Soichiro Hoshino, Hidehiko Shimizu, Masashi Abe, Sho Arai, Kanako Kuwasako, Naoki Asakawa, Yusuke Inoue, Takuro Horii, Izuho Hatada, Masakatsu Watanabe

“…The mitochondrial translation system contains two ribosome rescue factors, ICT1 and MTRFR (C12orf65), which hydrolyze peptidyl‐tRNA in stalled ribosomes. ICT1 also functions as a ribosomal protein of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit (mtLSU) in mice and humans, and its deletion is lethal. …”
