Effect of transgenic tobacco plant, Nicotiana tabacum expressing ribosome inactivating gene isolated from the bulbs of Dutch iris, Iris hollandica on biological parameters of Myzus nicotianae (Hem.: Aphididea) and Spodoptera exigua (Lep.: Noctuidae) [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایران, 2015 The use of modified crop plants through gene transfer between different plant species plays an important role in pest control programs. We have investigated the insecticidal properties of two lines of tobacco transgenic plant consisting of IRIP ...

The pokeweed leaf mRNA transcriptome and its regulation by jasmonic acid.
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The American pokeweed plant, Phytolacca americana, is recognized for synthesizing pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP), a ribosome inactivating protein (RIP) that inhibits the replication of several plant and animal viruses.

Preparation of an antitumor and antivirus agent: chemical modification of α-MMC and MAP30 from Momordica Charantia L. with covalent conjugation of polyethyelene glycol [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Alpha-momorcharin (α-MMC) and momordica anti-HIV protein (MAP30) derived from Momordica charantia L. have been confirmed to possess antitumor and antivirus activities due to their RNA-N-glycosidase activity. However, strong immunogenicity and

FEBS Letters, 1992 A single chain ribosome‐inactivating protein with RNA N‐glycosidase activity, here named Dianthin 29, was isolated from leaves of Dianthus barbatus L. Incubation of intact Escherichia coli ribosomes with Dianthin 29 and subsequent aniline treatment of the isolated rRNA releases a rRNA fragment of 243 nucleotides from 23 S rRNA.

Insights into the mechanism of cell death induced by saporin delivered into cancer cells by an antibody fusion protein targeting the transferrin receptor 1 [PDF]
, 2012 We previously developed an antibody-avidin fusion protein (ch128.1Av) that targets the human transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) and exhibits direct cytotoxicity against malignant B cells in an iron-dependent manner. ch128.1Av is also a delivery system and its
