The Structure of Ribosome Inactivating Proteins

Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry, 2004
Ribosome Inactivating Proteins, RIPs, depurinate an invariant adenine from the 28S rRNA of eukaryotic ribosomes; they have evolved to near enzymatic perfection for this task. The N-glycosidase fold is conserved in plant and bacterial enzymes. RIPs can form complexes with cell surface recognition proteins that dramatically increase the cytotoxicity of ...

Genetics of Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins

Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry, 2004
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a heterogeneous group of enzymes found mainly in plants and a few bacteria that possess N-glycosidase activity on ribosomes and a related polynucleotide adenosine glycosidase activity on naked nucleic acids. They encompass single enzymatic chains, heterodimeric toxic lectins and related agglutinins.

Ribosome-inactivating proteins

Toxicon, 1997
Abstract Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs, review by Barbieri et a/. 1993) are a class of proteins present in various tissues of several plants which inactivate mammalian ribosomes and, with less activity and to variable extent, plant, fungal, and bacterial ribosomes. They are enzymes, N-glycosidases, which release adenine from rRNA.

A Nonradioactive Assay for Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins

Analytical Biochemistry, 1996
A sensitive nonradioactive method to determine the activity of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) based on a combined transcription/translation in vitro assay was established. Using this assay we investigated the RIP activities of the heterodimeric toxic plant lectins ricin and mistletoe lectin I (ML-I).

Ribosome-inactivating proteins in plant biology

Planta, 2004
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a group of cytotoxic Af-glycosidases that specifically cleave nucleo tide N-C glycosidic bonds. RIPs have been classified into three types: type I is composed of a single polypeptide chain, whereas type II is a heterodimer consisting of an A chain, functionally equivalent to a type I, which is attached to a ...
