Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are toxic N-glycosidases that depurinate eukaryotic
and prokaryotic rRNAs, thereby arresting protein synthesis during translation. RIPs are …

ABSTRACT The genus Clerodendrum L.(Family: Lamiaceae) is very widely distributed in
tropical and subtropical regions of the world. More than five hundred species of the genus …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a critical hormone for signaling innate immunity in plants. Here we
present the purification and characterization of SA-binding protein 2 (SABP2), a tobacco …

Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins (RIPs) are enzymes that trigger the catalytic inactivation of
ribosomes and other substrates. They are present in a large number of plants and have …

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are toxins that act as N-glycosidases (EC 3.2. 2.22).
They are mainly produced by plants and classified as type 1 RIPs and type 2 RIPs. There …

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are rRNA N-glycosylases from plants (EC 3.2. 2.22)
that inactivate ribosomes thus inhibiting protein synthesis. The antiviral properties of RIPs …

SPECIAL SECTION: TRANSGENIC CROPS laboratories and in most of these cases,
resistance has tobacco expressing the TMV CP gene, as d been shown to be due to an …

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) leaves contain virus-inducible type 1 (single chain) ribosome-
inactivating proteins that have been named beetins. The structural and functional …

Transgenic crops would serve as a tool to overcome the forthcoming crisis in food security
and environmental safety posed by degrading land and changing global climate …

Abstract Ribosome Inactivating Proteins (RIPs) are rRNA N-glycosidases that inhibit protein
synthesis through the elimination of a single adenine residue from 28S rRNA. Many of these …
