Ribosome recycling factor (RRF), in concert with elongation factor EF-G, is required for disassembly of the post-termination complex of a ribosome after the release of polypeptides. How RRF dissociates the complex has long been puzzling. Crystal structures of RRF molecules have been solved recently and shown to mimic a transfer RNA (tRNA) shape, which prompted us to examine whether RRF binds to the ribosome as tRNA does.
