Occupational sensitization to ribosome‐inactivating proteins in researchers

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 2005
SummaryBackground Ribosome‐inactivating proteins (RIPs) are expressed in many plants. Because of their anti‐infectious and anti‐proliferative effects, intensive research is going on for applying these toxins in therapy against viral infections or malignancies.

Isolation and Purification of Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins

2005
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are cytotoxic N-glycosidases identified in plants, fungi, and bacteria. RIPs inhibit protein synthesis by virtue of their enzymatic activity, selectively cleaving a specific adenine residue from a highly conserved, surface-exposed, stem-loop (S/R loop) structure in the 28S rRNA of ribosomes.

Ribosome inactivating proteins of plants.

Seminars in cell biology, 1992
Many 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.

Immunotoxins containing single chain ribosome-inactivating proteins

1988
We have summarized what is currently known about the distribution, biological role, and the mechanism of action of the single chain ribosome-inactivating proteins and described the purification of one of them, gelonin, as an example. ITs have been made with several of these proteins and, depending upon the antibody used for conjugation, these ...

Virus resistance mediated by ribosome inactivating proteins

2000
Publisher 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, 2013
Ribosome-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.
