Type 1 Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins from the Ombú Tree (Phytolacca dioica L.)

Planta, 2010
The toxicity of plant proteins, later identified as ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs), was described more than a century ago and their enzymatic activity was established more than 30 years ago. However, their physiological role and related biological activities are still uncertain.

Structure/function studies on two type 1 ribosome inactivating proteins: Bouganin and lychnin

Journal of Structural Biology, 2009
The three-dimensional structures of two type 1 RIPs, bouganin and lychnin, has been solved. Their adenine polynucleotide glycosylase activity was also determined together with other known RIPs: dianthin 30, PAP-R, momordin I, ricin A chain and saporin-S6. Saporin-S6 releases the highest number of adenine molecules from rat ribosomes, and poly(A), while

Isolation and characterization of heterotepalins, type 1 ribosome-inactivating proteins from Phytolacca heterotepala leaves

Phytochemistry, 2007
Leaves from Phytolacca heterotepala H. Walter (Mexican pokeweed) contain at least 10 type 1 RIP isoforms, named heterotepalins. Their Mr values are included in the range 28,000-36,000, as shown by SDS-PAGE performed under reduced conditions and the pI values in the pH range 8.50-9.50. Some heterotepalins are glycosylated.

In vitro anti‐tumour activity of anti‐CD80 and anti‐CD86 immunotoxins containing type 1 ribosome‐inactivating proteins

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, 2000
Immunotoxins specific for the CD80 and CD86 antigens were prepared by linking three type 1 ribosome‐inactivating proteins (RIPs), namely bouganin, gelonin and saporin‐S6, to the monoclonal antibodies M24 (anti‐CD80) and 1G10 (anti‐CD86). These immunotoxins showed a specific cytotoxicity for the CD80/CD86‐expressing cell lines Raji and L428.

Cellular and subcellular distribution of saporins, type-1 ribosome-inactivating proteins, in soapwort (Saponaria officinalis L.)

Planta, 1994
Many plants contain ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) which are either single enzymatically active polypeptides (type-1 RIPs) or heterodimers (type-2 RIPs) composed of an A-chain, functionally equivalent to a type-1 RIP, which is disulphide bonded to a sugar-binding B-chain.

Targeting of Type 1 Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins to CD30+ or CD25+ Hematologic Neoplasias by Bispecific Antibodies

Journal of Hematotherapy, 1995
In this study, we compared the ability of different bispecific monoclonal antibodies (BsmAb) and immunotoxins to deliver the type 1 ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP) saporin and gelonin through the CD25 or CD30 target molecules to Hodgkin's lymphoma cells.

Clavin, a Type‐1 Ribosome‐Inactivating Protein from Aspergillus clavatus IF0 8605

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1996
We describe the cloning and expression of a new cDNA from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus clavatus IFO 8605. This cDNA contains an open reading frame (ORF) that predicts a putative ribonuclease precursor with high similarity to the α‐sarcin family of ribosome‐inactivating proteins (RIPS).

Microenvironment of Cysteine 242 in Type-1 Ribosome-Inactivating Protein from Iris

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2000
IRIP is a type-1 ribosome-inactivating protein isolated from the bulbs of Iris hollandica. It is one of the few type-1 RIPs that contain Cys residue(s) in their primary sequence. IRIP contains a single Cys residue at position 242. Although IRIP is thought to be a monomeric protein, SDS-PAGE indicates that part of the IRIP molecules can exist as ...
