Insights into the Differential Cytotoxicity of Abrin and Design of a Vaccine Candidate against the Toxin
Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) from plants, fungi or bacteria are extremely lethal due to their N-glycosidase activity on eukaryotic ribosomal RNA. As the name indicates, these toxins inactivate ribosomes; thereby ...
A Comparative Study On The Sensitivity Of Cells Of Different Lineages To Plant Ribosome Inactivating Protein - Abrin
(2010-12-08)
Proteins with selective toxicity have been investigated for use in many ways. One class of proteins, ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs), is found throughout the plant kingdom as well as in lower organisms like certain ...
Type-II Ribosome Inactivating Proteins From Abrus Precatorius : Cytotoxicity And Mechanism Of Cell Death
(2009-05-21)
Type-II Ribosome Inactivating Proteins from Abrus precatorius: Cytotoxicity and Mechanism of Cell Death
A/B toxins produced by bacteria and plants are among the deadliest molecules known. The plant type-II ribosome ...
Mechanism of Abrin-Induced Apoptosis and Insights into the Neutralizing Activity of mAb D6F10
(2017-11-23)
Abrin is a potent toxin obtained from the seeds of Abrus precatorius. It is a heterodimeric glycoprotein consisting of an A and a B subunit linked together by a disulfide bond. The toxicity of the protein comes from the A ...
Immunoneutralization Of Cytotoxic Abrin : Insights Into Mechanisms And Therapy
(2015-12-02)
Type II Ribosome Inactivating Proteins (RIPs), commonly known as A/B toxins are heterodimers comprising of a catalytically active A chain, an RNA N-glycosidase which inhibits protein synthesis and a lectin-like B chain ...
