The pokeweed leaf mRNA transcriptome and its regulation by jasmonic acid.
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The American pokeweed plant, Phytolacca americana, is recognized for synthesizing pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP), a ribosome inactivating protein (RIP) that inhibits the replication of several plant and animal viruses.

Inhibition of HIV-1 replication by balsamin, a ribosome inactivating protein of Momordica balsamina [PDF]
, 2013 Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are endowed with several medicinal properties, including antiviral activity. We demonstrate here that the recently identified type I RIP from Momordica balsamina also possesses antiviral activity, as determined by ...

Inhibition of herpes simplex virus multiplication by the pokeweed antiviral protein [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1980 The pokeweed antiviral protein inhibited the multiplication of herpes simplex virus type 1 in cell culture. The extent of antiviral activity was proportional to the length of time that the antiviral protein was present postinfection. The results demonstrate that the continued presence of the pokeweed antiviral protein is necessary for the maximum ...

Expression of a pokeweed antiviral protein in Escherichia coli and its characterization [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1993 Two expression vectors were constructed to produce a putative mature α‐pokeweed antiviral protein (α‐PAP) in Escherichia coli with its NH2‐ and COOH‐terminal extrapeptides excised. One was for its intracellular expression with a methionine at its NH2‐terminal. The other was for its secretion using an ompA signal peptide. The former product was purified

Dianthin and Its Potential in Targeted Tumor Therapies [PDF]
, 2019 Dianthin enzymes belong to ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) of type 1, i.e., they only consist of a catalytic domain and do not have a cell binding moiety.

Antiviral activity of ribosome-inactivating proteins [PDF]
, 2021 Producción CientíficaRibosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are rRNA N-glycosylases from plants (EC 3.2.2.22) that inactivate ribosomes thus inhibiting protein synthesis.

Ribosomal RNA N-glycosylase Activity Assay of Ribosome-inactivating Proteins
Bio-Protocol, 2017 Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are enzymes that irreversibly inactivate ribosomes as a consequence of their N-glycosylase (EC 3.2.2.22) activity. The enzyme cleaves the N-glycosidic bond between the adenine No.
