X-ray structure of PD-L4, a Ribosome Inactivating Protein from Phytolacca dioica L. leaves
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are rRNA N-β-glycosidases (EC number 3.2.2.22) widespread in plants, where they play a role in defence against external pathogens. They are able to inhibit protein biosynthesis in pathogens by inactivating their ribosomes through a site-specific deadenylation of the large ribosomal RNA [1]. In recent years, their cytotoxicity has been exploited for the deve...
متن کاملRibosome-Inactivating Proteins: From Plant Defense to Tumor Attack
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are EC3.2.32.22 N-glycosidases that recognize a universally conserved stem-loop structure in 23S/25S/28S rRNA, depurinating a single adenine (A4324 in rat) and irreversibly blocking protein translation, leading finally to cell death of intoxicated mammalian cells. Ricin, the plant RIP prototype that comprises a catalytic A subunit linked to a galactose-bind...
متن کاملDetection of the potyviral genome-linked protein VPg in virions and its phosphorylation by host kinases.
The multifunctional genome-linked protein (VPg) of Potato virus A (PVA; genus Potyvirus) was found to be phosphorylated as a part of the virus particle by a cellular kinase activity from tobacco. Immunoprecipitation, immunolabeling, and immunoelectron microscopy experiments showed that VPg is exposed at one end of the virion and it is accessible to protein-protein interactions. Substitution Ser...
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 ...
متن کاملThe protein-nanoparticle interaction (protein corona) and its importance on the therapeutic application of nanoparticles
Nanobiotechnology has provided promising novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies which capable to create a broad spectrum of nano-based imaging agents and medicines for human administrations. Several studies have demonstrated that the surface of nanomaterials is immediately coated with suspended proteins after contact with plasma or other biological fluids to form protein corona-nanoparticl...
