Comparative Efficacy of Ribosome-Inactivating Protein-Containing Immunotoxins in 2D and 3D Models of Sarcoma [PDF]
ToxinsSarcomas are very complex and clinically challenging mesenchymal tumors. Although the standard therapeutic approach has improved the 5-year survival rate, many patients experience local relapses and/or distant metastases.

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. However, interest in these proteins is rising due to the emergence of infectious diseases caused by new viruses and the ...

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. There are also RIPs and RIP related proteins that cannot be grouped into the classical type 1 and type 2 RIPs because of their different sizes, structures or functions. In addition,

Structures and Ribosomal Interaction of Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins [PDF]
Molecules, 2016 Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) including ricin, Shiga toxin, and trichosanthin, are RNA N-glycosidases that depurinate a specific adenine residue (A-4324 in rat 28S ribosomal RNA, rRNA) in the conserved α-sarcin/ricin loop (α-SRL) of rRNA.

Ribosome-inactivating proteins [PDF]
Virulence, 2013 Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) were first isolated over a century ago and have been shown to be catalytic toxins that irreversibly inactivate protein synthesis. Elucidation of atomic structures and molecular mechanism has revealed these proteins to be a diverse group subdivided into two classes.
