Ribosome Inactivating Proteins and Apoptosis
2010Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) are RNA N-glycosidases which potently inhibit translation by inactivating ribosomes. RIPs have also been shown to possess the ability to induce apoptosis. A number of RIPs from different sources have been used to study the mechanism of apoptosis induction.

Antiviral Activity Of Ribosome Inactivating Proteins In Medicine
Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry, 2004Pokeweed antiviral protein and several other ribosome inactivating proteins are effective against a broad range of viruses. Recent results have shown that their enzymatic activity is not limited to depurination of the large rRNA, they can depurinate other nucleic acids, including viral RNAs.

Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins in Cereals
2010Plants constitutively accumulate proteins that are either toxic or inhibitory against pathogens, including ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) and N-glycosidases that depurinate the universally conserved α-sarcin loop of large rRNAs. Cereal RIPs share a high similarity with all the other RIPs; however, they retain characteristic features forming a ...

Ribosome inactivating proteins of plants.
Seminars in cell biology, 1992Many plant tissues produce single chain proteins which can enzymatically remove a specific adenine residue from ribosomal RNA. Although these proteins are potently toxic to isolated ribosomes, they are non-toxic to intact cells, being unable to gain access to their ribosomal substrate.

Virus resistance mediated by ribosome inactivating proteins
2000Publisher Summary This chapter describes recent advances in understanding the structure and function of ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) and the mechanism of their antiviral activity. RIPs are widely distributed among plants, fungi, and bacteria.

Ribosome-inactivating proteins: From toxins to useful proteins
Toxicon, 2013Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) either single-chain (type 1) or two-chain (type 2) are frequent in plants, often in multiple forms. They are RNA N-glycosidases, have antiviral, antifungal and insecticidal activity. Their expression in plants is increased under stressful conditions.
