Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins: From Plant Defense to Tumor Attack
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are EC3.2.32.22 N-glycosidases that recognize a universally conserved stem-loop structure in 23S/25S/28S rRNA, depurinating a single adenine (A4324 in rat) and irreversibly blocking protein translation, leading ...

Structural Basis for Nucleobase Activation by the Adenine DNA Glycosylase MutY
DNA glycosylase MutY engages its adenine nucleobase substrate in a syn orientation with a catalytic Glu. X‐ray crystal structures of MutY with Glu replaced suggest that a disengaged “on hold” state with anti nucleobase orientation may explain how MutY avoids catastrophic activity at inappropriate adenines.

Ribosome-inactivating protein-containing conjugates for therapeutic use
A number of plant proteins inhibit protein synthesis by irreversibly inactivating the 60S ribosomal subunit in a catalytical, that is, enzymatic, manner. For this property, they are called ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs).

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a class of cytotoxic enzymes that can depurinate rRNAs thereby inhibiting protein translation. Although these proteins have also been detected in bacteria, fungi, and even some insects, they are especially ...

TB, a conventional cell viability dye, acts as both a fluorescence modulator (quenching GFP fluorescence upon protein binding and recovering it upon release) and a photosensitizer that triggers endosomal escape via photochemical internalization (PCI) under 590 nm light.

The DIANTHIN gene encoding a ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) from Dianthus caryophyllus L. was tested for negative selection in tobacco and rice. Tobacco leaf discs and scutellum-derived callus of rice were transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens ...

A genomic clone encoding a karasurin precursor was isolated from root tubers of Trichosanthes kirilowii var. japonica. The sequence analysis indicates that karasurin-A and karasurin-C exhibiting abortifacient and ribosome-inhibiting activities are produced from a common karasurin precursor by proteolitically cleaving at a different site.

The pokeweed leaf mRNA transcriptome and its regulation by jasmonic acid.
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.
