Ribosome Inactivating Proteins from Rosaceae [PDF]
Molecules, 2016 Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are widespread among higher plants of different taxonomic orders. In this study, we report on the RIP sequences found in the genome/transcriptome of several important Rosaceae species, including many economically ...

Antiviral Activity of Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins [PDF]
Toxins, 2021 Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are rRNA N-glycosylases from plants (EC 3.2.2.22) that inactivate ribosomes thus inhibiting protein synthesis. The antiviral properties of RIPs have been investigated for more than four decades.

The ribosome-inactivating proteins MAP30 and Momordin inhibit SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 The continuing emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants has highlighted the need to identify additional points for viral inhibition. Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs), such as MAP30 and Momordin which are derived from bitter melon (Momordica charantia), have

Ribosome-Inactivating and Related Proteins [PDF]
Toxins, 2015 Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are toxins that act as N-glycosidases (EC 3.2.2.22). They are mainly produced by plants and classified as type 1 RIPs and type 2 RIPs.

Engineering of Ribosome-inactivating Proteins for Improving Pharmacological Properties [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are N-glycosidases, which depurinate a specific adenine residue in the conserved α-sarcin/ricin loop (α-SRL) of rRNA.
