Inhibition of pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) by turnip mosaic virus genome-linked protein (VPg).
Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) from Phytolacca americana is a ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) and an RNA N-glycosidase that removes specific purine residues from the sarcin/ricin loop of large rRNA, arresting protein synthesis at the translocation step. PAP is also a cap-binding protein and is a potent antiviral agent against many plant, animal, and human viruses. To elucidate the mechani...
متن کاملPokeweed antiviral protein inhibits brome mosaic virus replication in plant cells.
Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) is a ribosome-inactivating protein isolated from the pokeweed plant (Phytolacca americana) that inhibits the proliferation of several plant and animal viruses. We have shown previously that PAP and nontoxic mutants of PAP can directly depurinate brome mosaic virus (BMV) RNA in vitro, resulting in reduced viral protein translation. Here we expand on these initial...
متن کاملTransient expression of green fluorescent protein in radish (Raphanus sativus) using a turnip mosaic virus based vector
It is possible to use transgenic plants, as bioreactors, for the production of recombinant inexpensive chemicals and drug components. Transient gene expression is an appropriate alternative to stable transformation because it allows an inexpensive and rapid method for expression of recombinant proteins in plant tissues. In recent years, plant viral vectors have been increasingly developed as su...
متن کاملExtracellular localization of pokeweed antiviral protein.
Pokeweed antiviral protein is an enzyme of Mr 29,000 known to inactivate a wide variety of eukaryotic ribosomes. We have used electron microscopy to show that the antibody specific for the protein is bound within the cell wall matrix of leaf mesophyll cells from Phytolacca americana. Any penetration or breakage of the cell wall and membrane could allow the enzyme to enter the cytoplasm, where i...
متن کاملPokeweed Antiviral Protein, a Ribosome Inactivating Protein: Activity, Inhibition and Prospects
Viruses employ an array of elaborate strategies to overcome plant defense mechanisms and must adapt to the requirements of the host translational systems. Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) from Phytolacca americana is a ribosome inactivating protein (RIP) and is an RNA N-glycosidase that removes specific purine residues from the sarcin/ricin (S/R) loop of large rRNA, arresting protein synthesis ...
