Cell Targeted Ribosome Inactivating Proteins Derived from Protein Combinatorial Libraries [PDF]
Combinatorial protein libraries based on a protein template offer a vast potential for deriving protein variants harboring new receptor specificity while retaining other tem-plate functions to serve as library search-engines, cell-routing sequences and ...

Plant ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) toxins are EC3.2.2.22 N-glycosidases, found among most plant species encoded as small gene families, distributed in several tissues being endowed with defensive functions against fungal or viral infections.

Cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody blocking the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, cetuximab treatment has no clinical benefits in patients affected by mCRC with KRAS mutation or in the presence of ...

Molecular characterization and systemic induction of single-chain ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) leaves [PDF]
Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) leaves contain virus-inducible type 1 (single chain) ribosome-inactivating proteins that have been named beetins. The structural and functional characterization, the cellular location, and the potential role of beetins as antiviral agents are reported here.

Ribosome-inactivating proteins [PDF]
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) were first isolated over a century ago and have been shown to be catalytic toxins that irreversibly inactivate protein synthesis.

Neutralization and binding activity of a human single-chain antibody to ricin toxin
Ricin toxin (RT), extracted from castor bean, is a type II ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP). As a biothreat agent, there is no effective antidote for RT to date, but recent advances in antibody research may have meet this need.

Oligopeptides/DNA Coacervate Droplets as Macromolecular Delivery Microcarriers
Oligopeptide–DNA coacervates formed via liquid–liquid phase separation serve as programmable carriers for macromolecular cargos, entering cells through lipid raft–associated pathways and subsequently undergoing enzyme triggered intracellular disassembly driven by DNA degradation processes, thereby enabling efficient, controlled, and spatially defined ...

Designing a Humanized Immunotoxin Based on Gelonin Against HER2+ Breast Cancer: An In-Silico Study [PDF]
Recombinant immunotoxins (RITs) are considered tumor-specific therapeutics because their variable antibody fragment can specifically bind to target cells, and their engineered toxin fragment specifically kills cancerous cells upon internalization.

Identification of the tRNAs which up‐regulate agrostin, barley RIP and PAP‐S, three ribosome‐inactivating proteins of plant origin [PDF]
Ribosome‐inactivating proteins (RIP) are RNA‐N‐glycosidases widely diffused in plants which depurinate ribosomal RNA at a specific universally conserved position, A4324 in rat ribosomes. A small group of RIPs (cofactor‐dependent RIPs) require ATP and tRNA to reach maximal activity on isolated ribosomes.
