What Proteins Recognize UAA, UAG, and UGA Codons

Question

What proteins recognize UAA, UAG, and UGA codons?
A) initiation factors
B) elongation factors
C) termination factors
D) release factors
E) 30s ribosome subunit

Accepted Answer

Release factors recognize the stop codons UAA, UAG, and UGA during the termination phase of protein synthesis, prompting the release of the newly synthesized protein from the ribosome.
