It is concluded that IF-3 recycles during initiation on the 30 S initiation complexes and is released therefrom before the junction of the 50 S subunit. As will be documented more extensively in a subsequent paper IF-2 is not a prerequisite from MS2 RNA binding to the 30 S particles, but the presence of IF-2 and IF- 1 enhances this binding significantly.
