In silico analysis of gene family and ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) from Jatropha curcas L.

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Abstract Ribossome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are found in several plant, fungal, and bacterial species and play an important role in the plant defense system against phytopathogens. The present study aimed to characterize, in silico, the RIP gene and protein family in Jatropha curcas L.

40S ribosome biogenesis co-factors are essential for gametophyte and embryo development [PDF]

, 2013
Ribosome biogenesis is well described in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In contrast only very little information is available on this pathway in plants. This study presents the characterization of five putative protein co-factors of ribosome biogenesis in ...

Interaction between maize ribosome-inactivating protein and ribosomes [PDF]

, 2011
Ribosome‐inactivating proteins (RIPs) represent a group of N‐glycosidases which can cleave the N‐glycosidic bond of adenine at 23S and 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) of ribosome and subsequently lead to a halt of protein synthesis and cell death.

Sequence determination of lychnin, a type 1 ribosome-inactivating protein from Lychnis chalcedonica seeds

, 2006
The complete amino acid sequence of lychnin, a type 1 ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) isolated from Lychnis chalcedonica seeds, has been determined by automated Edman degradation and ESI-QTOF mass spectrometry.

New ribosome-inactivating proteins and other proteins with protein synthesis-inhibiting activities

, 2020
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) consist of three varieties. Type 1 RIPs are single-chained and approximately 30-kDa in molecular weight. Type 2 RIPs are double-chained and composed of a type 1 RIP chain and a lectin chain.

Computational Exploration of Plant Ribosome Inactivating Proteins (RIPs) in Countering Snake Venom: A Novel Therapeutic Opportunity and Challenges

Plant Science Today
Snakebite envenoming represents a critical global health challenge, particularly prevalent in regions with limited access to healthcare resources, where venomous snakes pose a significant threat to human populations. Antivenom therapy which mainly rely on antibody production by immunization of large animals with venom components is labour intensive ...

Ribosome-inactivating proteins : current status and biomedical applications

, 2012
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are mainly present in plants and function to inhibit protein synthesis through the removal of adenine residues from eukaryotic ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
