In vitro selection of DNA aptamer against abrin toxin and aptamer-based abrin direct detection

open access: yesBiosensors and Bioelectronics, 2007
Abrin toxin as the target protein, belongs to class II ribosome-inactivating proteins family, has high toxicity to eukaryotic cells. Here, we firstly report the DNA aptamers, isolated by in vitro selection, recognize abrin toxin with high affinity and specificity, and have the advantage of no cross-reaction with structure-similar protein ricin toxin ...

Sequestration of the abrin A chain to the nucleus by BASP1 increases the resistance of cells to abrin toxicity

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2014
Abrin, a type II ribosome-inactivating protein, comprises A and B subunits wherein the A subunit harbours toxin activity and the B subunit has a galactose-specific lectin activity. The entry of the protein inside the cell is through the binding of the B chain to cell surface glycoproteins followed by receptor-mediated endocytosis and retrograde ...

A chimeric protein of abrin and Abrus precatorius agglutinin that neutralizes abrin mediated lethality in mice

Toxicon, 2017
Abrin, a type II ribosome inactivating protein from the Abrus precatorius plant, is extremely toxic. It has been shown to be 75 times more potent than its infamous sister toxin, ricin and their potential use in bio-warfare is a cause of major concern.

Carbohydrate in abrin

Toxicon, 1971
Abstract Crystalline abrin contained 4·9 per cent of neutral sugar in addition to 9·3 residues of glucosamine per mole of abrin (molecular weight 65,000). The neutral sugars consist of mannose, xylose and fucose in ratios of 2·08:1·00:0·94. When abrin was treated with periodate, the residual toxicity was only a few per cent of that of native abrin ...

Correlation of abrin‐mediated inhibition of protein synthesis and apoptosis

open access: yesIUBMB Life, 2019
The plant toxin, abrin, a type-II ribosome inactivating protein, is extremely lethal, the human fatal dose being similar to 1 mu g/kg body weight. Abrin has been classified as an agent for bioterrorism, which is of concern.
