Involvement of Prohibitin Upregulation in Abrin-Triggered Apoptosis [PDF]
Abrin (ABR), a protein purified from the seeds ofAbrus precatorius, induces apoptosis in various types of cancer cells. However, the detailed mechanism remains largely uncharacterized. By using a cDNA microarray platform, we determined that prohibitin (PHB), a tumor suppressor protein, is significantly upregulated in ABR-triggered apoptosis.

Chemical Modification of Tryptophan Residues in Abrin-a.
Chemical modification of tryptophan residues in abrin-a with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) was studied with regard to saccharide-binding. The number of tryptophan residues available for NBS oxidation increased with lowering pH, and 11 out of the 13 tryptophan residues in abrin-a were eventually modified with NBS at pH 4.0, while 6 tryptophan residues were ...
