Cytotoxicity of ribosome-inactivating protein saporin is not mediated through alpha2-macroglobulin receptor.
Saporin is a single chain ribosome-inactivating protein produced by the plant Saponaria officinalis. Several isoforms of saporin have been isolated from various parts of the plant. In the present study recombinant saporin isoforms 5 and 6 were produced in Escherichia coli. Saporin-6 was found to be more active than saporin-5 in its N-glycosidase, cytotoxic, and genomic DNA fragmentation activit...
متن کاملOptimization of EnBase Fed-Batch Cultivation to Improve Soluble Fraction Ratio of α-Luffin Ribosome Inactivating Protein
Background: The increase of the protein expression via ribosomal manipulation is one of the suggested cellular mechanisms involved in EnBase fed-batch mode of cultivation. However, this system has not been implemented for cytotoxic proteins.Objectives: Here, the expression pattern of α-Luffin, a ribosome inactivation protein (RIP) with an innate toxicity,...
متن کاملAnti-tumor activities and apoptotic mechanism of ribosome-inactivating proteins.
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) belong to a family of enzymes that attack eukaryotic ribosomes and potently inhibit cellular protein synthesis. RIPs possess several biomedical properties, including anti-viral and anti-tumor activities. Multiple RIPs are known to inhibit tumor cell proliferation through inducing apoptosis in a variety of cancers, such as breast cancer, leukemia/lymphoma, a...
متن کاملRibosome-inactivating proteins.
The main results of the research performed in the last 30 years on ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are reviewed, with emphasis on the new, controversial and uncertain aspects. The nature, distribution, mechanism of action and properties of these proteins are briefly reported, together with their possible applications. A pattern appears of a still largely unexplored subject, whose role in ...
متن کاملRibosome-inactivating proteins
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. RIPs have been shown to exhibit RNA N-glycosidase activity and depurinate the 28S rRNA of the...
