Ricin Poisoning [PDF]

JAMA, 2005
The recent discoveries of ricin, a deadly biologic toxin, at a South Carolina postal facility, a White House mail facility, and a US senator's office has raised concerns among public health officials, physicians, and citizens. Ricin is one of the most potent and lethal substances known, particularly when inhaled.

Hydroxyl radical footprinting modification reveals an intradomain communication pathway in EFL1 disrupted by a Shwachman‐Diamond syndrome‐associated mutation

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Shwachman‐Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by pancreatic insufficiency and neutropenia. While most cases are linked to mutations in the SBDS gene, some involve mutations in the GTPase EFL1. This protein works with SBDS to release the anti‐association factor eIF6 from the 60S ribosomal subunit during ribosome ...

Intracellular Transport and Cytotoxicity of the Protein Toxin Ricin

Toxins, 2019
Ricin can be isolated from the seeds of the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis). It belongs to the ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) family of toxins classified as a bio-threat agent due to its high toxicity, stability and availability.

Neutralising antibodies against ricin toxin. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have listed the potential bioweapon ricin as a Category B Agent. Ricin is a so-called A/B toxin produced by plants and is one of the deadliest molecules known. It is easy to prepare and no curative treatment

Soil and Genotype Shape the Sugarcane Phytobiome for Enhanced Environmental Adaptation

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Soil type and sugarcane genotype, differing in their adaptability to low‐fertility soils, interact to shape microbial recruitment and host transcriptional responses. In sandy soils, the better‐adapted genotype IACSP‐5503 recruits more plant growth‐promoting bacteria and activates growth‐related genes, while in clayey soils the less‐adapted IACSP‐6007 ...

Targeting ricin to the ribosome [PDF]

Toxicon, 2013
The plant toxin ricin is highly toxic for mammalian cells and is of concern for bioterrorism. Ricin belongs to a family of functionally related toxins, collectively referred to as ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs), which disable ribosomes and halt protein synthesis. Currently there are no specific antidotes against ricin or related RIPs.
