1. Analysis of castor bean ribosome-inactivating proteins and their gene expression during seed development
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are enzymes that inhibit protein synthesis after depurination of a specific adenine in rRNA. The RIP family members are classified as type I RIPs that contain an RNA-N-glycosidase domain and type II RIPs that contain a lectin domain (B chain) in addition to the glycosidase domain (A chain). In this work, we identified 30

2. Mechanisms of action of systemic antibiotics used in periodontal treatment and mechanisms of bacterial resistance to these drugs
Antibiotics are important adjuncts in the treatment of infectious diseases, including periodontitis. The most severe criticisms to the indiscriminate use of these drugs are their side effects and, especially, the development of bacterial resistance. The knowledge of the biological mechanisms involved with the antibiotic usage would help the medical and denta

3. Proteínas inativadoras de ribossomos: identificação de novas proteínas e estudos de interação da cadeia-A da pulchellina (PAC) com monocamada de Langmuir / Ribosome inactivating proteins: identification of new members and studies of the interaction of pulchellin A-chain (PAC) with Langmuir monolayers
Proteínas Inativadoras de Ribossomos (RIPs) são rRNA N-glicosilases capazes de inibir a síntese protéica pela remoção de uma adenina específica do RNA ribossomal. São geralmente classificadas em tipo 1 e tipo 2, sendo as últimas divididas em altamente tóxicas e não tóxicas. A maior parte das RIPs tipo 2 identificadas pertence a espécies de dicot

4. Caracterização filogenética das proteínas inativadoras de ribossomos (RIPs) de mamona (Ricinus communis L.) e análise da expressão dos genes Rcom RIPs durante o desenvolvimento da semente
As Proteínas Inativadoras de Ribossomos (RIPs) compreendem uma família de enzimas que inibem a síntese protéica através da depurinação de uma adenina específica do RNA ribossomal. Os membros desta família são classificados como RIPs do tipo I, quando possuem somente o RNA-N-Glicosidase e RIPs do tipo II quando além do domínio glicosidase, também

5. Pulchellis: a patent vegetal toxin ribosome inactivating - type 2 RIP. in vitro and in vivo studies / Pulchellina: uma potente toxina vegetal inativadora de ribossomos - RIP tipo 2. estudos in vitro e in vivo
Pulchellin is a type 2 ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) isolated from seeds of the Abrus pulchellus tenuiflorus plant. The DNA fiagment encoding Pulchellin A-chain (PAC) was cloned and inserted in pGEX-5X to express the recombinant pulchellin Achain (rPAC) as a fusion protein in Escherichin coli. The deduced amino acid sequence analyses of the rPAC presen

6. Modification of ribosomal RNA by ribosome-inactivating proteins from plants.
We have surveyed 14 different toxic and nontoxic ribosome-inactivating proteins from plants for the ability to act on the RNA of the eucaryotic 60 S ribosomal subunit. All of these proteins act to introduce a specific modification into 26-28 S RNA which renders the RNA sensitive to cleavage by aniline. Sequence analysis of the 5'-termini of the fragments pro

7. Polynucleotide:adenosine glycosidase activity of ribosome-inactivating proteins: effect on DNA, RNA and poly(A).
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP) are a family of plant enzymes for which a unique activity was determined: rRNAN-glycosidase at a specific universally conserved position, A4324in the case of rat ribosomes. Recently we have shown that the RIP from Saponaria officinalis have a much wider substrate specificity: they are actually polynucleotide:adenosine gly

8. JIP60, a methyl jasmonate-induced ribosome-inactivating protein involved in plant stress reactions.
Plant tissues treated with the naturally occurring cyclopentanone compound methyl jasmonate or exposed to stress causing in planta jasmonate accumulation express distinctive proteins and, concomitantly, reduce the synthesis of most preexisting proteins. One of the recently identified jasmonate-induced proteins, designated JIP60, in barley is a ribosome-inact

9. A rapid and sensitive method to measure the enzymatic activity of ribosome-inactivating proteins.
A method is described in which the adenosine- N -glycosidase activity of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) is measured using as substrate a 2251 bp [3H]DNA obtained by PCR amplification of the 731-2981 region of the pBR322 plasmid. The DNA, labelled in the purine ring of adenine, proved a good substrate for all three RIPs tested (PAP-S, ricin and shiga-l

10. A maize ribosome-inactivating protein is controlled by the transcriptional activator Opaque-2.
Although synthesis of the cytosolic maize albumin b-32 had been shown to be controlled by the Opaque-2 regulatory locus, its function was unknown. We show here that b-32 is a member of the large and widely distributed class of toxic plant proteins with ribosome-inactivating activity. These ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are RNA N-glycosidases that rem

12. Effects of ribosome-inactivating proteins on Escherichia coli and Agrobacterium tumefaciens translation systems.
The effects of 30 type 1 and of 2 (ricin and volkensin) type 2 ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) on Escherichia coli and Agrobacterium tumefaciens cell-free translation systems were compared with the effects on a rabbit reticulocyte translation system. The depurinating activity of RIPs on E. coli ribosomes was also evaluated. Only six type 1 RIPs inhibit
