nigrin b/딱총나무속

Nigrin b, a lectin isolated from the bark of elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.), has structure and enzymatic activity similar to that of ricin and other type 2 ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs), and yet is much less toxic to cells and animals. In an attempt to explain this difference, we studied (1)

The bark of Sambucus nigra L. contains a non-toxic novel type 2 ribosome-inactivating protein that we named nigrin b. In vitro, nigrin b strongly inhibited mammalian protein synthesis but did not affect plant nor bacterial protein synthesis. The protein (M(r) 58,000) contains two subunits, A (M(r)

The molecular structure of the Sambucus nigra agglutinin V (SNAV), which has been described previously as a type-2 ribosome-inactivating protein called nigrin b, has been studied in detail by analysis of the purified protein combined with cDNA cloning and molecular modelling. Native SNAV is a dimer

Ribosome-inactivating lectins (RILs) are A-B type toxins like ricin whose molecular target is the large rRNA of eukaryotic ribosome. Administration of lethal doses of the RIL nigrin b isolated from elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) bark triggers specific intestinal derangement. The aim of the present

Two novel highly basic type 1 (single chain) ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) with N-glycosidase activity have been found in elderberries (the fruits of Sambucus nigra L.). Mass spectrometry of these RIPs, which we named nigritins f1 and f2, gave Mr values of 24095 and 23 565, respectively.

A novel, strongly basic, two-chain ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) with an apparent Mr of 64000 by SDS-PAGE and 63469 by mass spectrometry analysis, that we have named basic nigrin b, has been found in the bark of elder (Sambucus nigra L.). The new protein does not agglutinate red blood cells,

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a family of enzymes that trigger the catalytic inactivation of ribosomes. The most known member of the family is the highly poisonous two-chain ricin isolated from Ricinus communis L. Sambucus species contain a number of two-chain RIPs structurally and
