Question

The proteins which play a role in translation are:
Initiation: Initiation factors: IF1, IF2, IF3
Elongation: Elongation factors: EF-Tu, EF-G
Termination: Releasing factors: RF1, RF2, RF3.
There are also proteins present in ribosomes which do not play a role in protein synthesis.
This is in prokaryotes
------------------------------------------------------------------
In eukaryotes:
Initiation: special proteins bind to 5' cap. The initiation factors are eIF2, eIF3, eIF4A, eIF4E, eIF4G.
Elongation: eEF1, eEF2
Termination: eRF.

Explanation / Answer

The other proteins in translation are the enzymes: aminoacyl tRNA synthetase peptidyl transferase polyA binding protein
