Ribosome recycling factor disassembles the post-termination ribosomal complex independent of the ribosomal translocase activity of elongation factor G.

Abstract excerpt

Ribosome recycling factor (RRF) disassembles post-termination ribosomal complexes in concert with elongation factor EF-G freeing the ribosome for a new round of polypeptide synthesis. How RRF interacts with EF-G and disassembles post-termination ribosomes is unknown. RRF is structurally similar to tRNA and is therefore thought to bind to the ribosomal A site and be translocated by EF-G during ribosome disassembly...
