The processing and release of nascent peptide chains from stalled bacterial ribosomes in B. subtilis. The SmpB/tmRNA system tags the nascent peptide chain with a 15-residue-long peptide degron, while the RqcH/YabO system generates an alanine tail. Both C-terminal extensions target the resulting peptides for degradation by ClpXP.
