Abstract

In addition to the G factor there exists another factor in the E. coli extracts which stimulates the release of tRNA from ribosomes. This factor is distinctly different from the G factor and may play a role in removing tRNA from the ribosome after the polypeptide chain termination factor has released the completed chain from the ribosome-bound tRNA.
