Translation (biology), ==Termination== says that "A third release factor RF-3 catalyzes the release of RF-1 and RF-2 at the end of the termination process", while in this article it is written that the function of RF-3 is unknown. Should this sentence be changed?

In the second edition of Molecular Genetics of Bacteria (2003), by Snyder and Champness, they also mention a fourth release factor. However, they do not say anything about the function of neither RF3 or RF4. 130.243.248.239 14:00, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

The was a proposal to use RF4 for the Ribosome Recycling Factor but the term was seldom used [1] RF4/RRF
