MeSH definition : A prokaryotic initiation factor that plays a role in recycling of ribosomal subunits
for a new round of translational initiation. It binds to 16S RIBOSOMAL RNA and stimulates
the dissociation of vacant 70S ribosomes. It may also be involved in the preferential
binding of initiator tRNA to the 30S initiation complex.;
