Abstract excerpt
Elongation factor G (EF-G) and ribosome recycling factor (RRF) disassemble post-termination complexes of ribosome, mRNA, and tRNA. RRF forms stable complexes with 70 S ribosomes and 50 S ribosomal subunits. Here, we show that EF-G releases RRF from 70 S ribosomal and model post-termination complexes but not from 50 S ribosomal subunit complexes. The release of bound RRF by EF-G is stimulated by GTP analogues. The...
