Pathogenesis of cell toxicity by plant toxins
Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a family of plant proteins that depurinate the major rRNA, inhibiting the protein synthesis. RIPs are divided into type 1, single chain proteins with enzymatic activity, and type 2 RIPs (toxic and non-toxic), with the enzymatic chain linked to a binding chai...
