Riproximin Exhibits Diversity in Sugar Binding, and Modulates some Metastasis-Related Proteins with Lectin like Properties in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Riproximin (Rpx) is a type II ribosome-inactivating protein with specific anti-proliferative activity. It was purified from Ximenia americana by affinity chromatography using a resin coupled with lactosyl residues.

Involvement of loops 2 and 3 of alpha-sarcin on its ribotoxic activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Ribotoxins are a family of fungal ribosome-inactivating proteins displaying highly specific ribonucleolytic activity against the sarcin/ricin loop (SRL) of the larger rRNA, with a-sarcin as its best-characterized member.

Constitutive and inducible type 1 ribosome‐inactivating proteins (RIPs) in elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.)

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1998
Two novel highly basic type 1 (single chain) ribosome‐inactivating proteins (RIPs) with N‐glycosidase activity have been found in elderberries (the fruits of Sambucus nigra L.). Mass spectrometry of these RIPs, which we named nigritins f1 and f2, gave M r values of 24 095 and 23 565, respectively.

Structure and Activity of a Cytosolic Ribosome-Inactivating Protein from Rice

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are cytotoxic enzymes that inhibit protein translation by depurinating ribosomal RNA. Although most plant RIPs are synthesized with leader sequences that sequester them away from the host ribosomes, several RIPs from

Inducible antiviral activity and rapid production of the Ribosome-Inactivating Protein I from Phytolacca heterotepala in tobacco

open access: yes, 2008
We studied the in vitro and in planta antiviral activity of the PhRIP I, a type 1 Ribosome-Inactivating Protein originally purified from leaves of the Phytolacca heterotepala.

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]

open access: yes, 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

Versatile CRISPR‐Cas Tools for Gene Regulation in Zebrafish via an Enhanced Q Binary System

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces CRISPR‐Q, a transgenic CRISPR‐Cas system leveraging the QFvpr/QUAS binary expression platform in zebrafish. CRISPR‐Q overcomes previous challenges in achieving stable and efficient gene regulation. By enabling precise spatiotemporal control of transcript knockdown (CRISPR‐QKD) and gene activation (CRISPR‐Qa), it provides a ...

Ricin trafficking in plant and mammalian cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Ricin is a heterodimeric plant protein that is potently toxic to mammalian and many other eukaryotic cells. It is synthesized and stored in the endosperm cells of maturing Ricinus communis seeds (castor beans).

Single‐Cell Computational Frameworks for Quantifying BET Bromodomain Inhibitor Resistance and Screening Re‐Sensitizer Drugs in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
To combat BET inhibitor resistance in triple‐negative breast cancer, we developed two single‐cell computational frameworks. FR20 quantifies resistance by integrating ferroptosis‐related gene signatures, while D‐FR20 screens for potential re‐sensitizers.
