New Insights on Saporin Resistance to Chemical Derivatization with Heterobifunctional Reagents
Biomedicines, 2023 Saporin is a type 1 ribosome-inactivating protein widely used as toxic payload in the construction of targeted toxins, chimeric molecules formed by a toxic portion linked to a carrier moiety.

Effects of Alternaria alternata f.sp. lycopersici toxins on pollen [PDF]
, 1988 Effects of the phytotoxic compounds (AAL-toxins) isolated from cell-free culture filtrates of Alternaria alternata f.sp. lycopersici on in vitro pollen development were studied. AAL-toxins inhibited both germination and tube growth of pollen from several

Tomato resistance to Alternaria stem canker: localization in host genotypes and functional expression compared to non-host resistance [PDF]
, 1989 The Alternaria stem canker resistance locus (Asc-locus), involved in resistance to the fungal pathogen Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici and in insensitivity to host-specific toxins (AAL-toxins) produced by the pathogen, was genetically mapped on ...

Ricin trafficking in plant and mammalian cells [PDF]
, 2011 Ricin is a heterodimeric plant protein that is potently toxic to mammalian and many other eukaryotic cells. It is synthesized and stored in the endosperm cells of maturing Ricinus communis seeds (castor beans).

Microbial degradation of plant toxins
Environmental Microbiology, 2023 Abstract Plants produce a variety of secondary metabolites in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Although they have many functions, a subclass of toxic secondary metabolites mainly serve plants as deterring agents against herbivores, insects, or pathogens.

Streptavidin-Saporin: Converting Biotinylated Materials into Targeted Toxins
, 2023 Streptavidin-Saporin can be considered a type of ‘secondary’ targeted toxin. The scientific community has taken advantage of this conjugate in clever and fruitful ways using many kinds of biotinylated targeting agents to send saporin into a ...
