1. Modeccin, the toxin of Adenia digitata (Modecca digitata), was purified from the roots of this plant by affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B. 2. This toxin is a protein with mol.wt. 57000, which on treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol can be dissociated into two subunits of mol.wts. 25000 and
1. The subunits were isolated of modeccin (subsequently referred to as modeccin 4B), the toxin purified from the roots of Adenia digitata by affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B [Gasperi-Campani, Barbieri, Lorenzoni, Montanaro, Sperti, Bonetti & Stirpe (1978) Biochem J. 174, 491-496]. They are an
Modeccin, the toxin of Adenia digitata, agglutinates erythrocytes from several mammalian species. The haemagglutinating activity is enhanced by neuraminidase and is inhibited by galactose and by galactose-containing sugars.
1. Rat liver microsomes isolated at 6 and 12 h of poisoning with 3 x LD50 (0.3 microgram/100 g body wt.) of modeccin, the toxin of Adenia digitata, have a decreased capacity of protein synthesis in vitro. 2. A similar decrease of protein synthesis is observed with polysomes at 6 h of poisoning.
Volkensin, a highly toxic protein from the roots of Adenia volkensii (kilyambiti, kinoria), was purified by affinity chromatography on acid-treated Sepharose 6B. The toxin is a glycoprotein (Mr 62,000, neutral sugar content 5.74%) consisting of an A subunit (Mr 29,000) and of a B subunit (Mr 36,000)
Type 2 ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) include some potent plant toxins, among which ricin from Ricinus communis and abrin from Abrus precatorius seeds, have been known for more than a century. Two other type 2 RIPs belong to this class of proteins, both isolated from plants of the same family
