Application

Restrictocin from Aspergillus restrictus is used to inhibit protein synthesis. It may be useful as a component of immunotoxins . Product R0389 is provided as a lyophilized powder.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Restrictocin from Aspergillus restrictus is a ribosome-inactivating protein that acts by specifically cleaving rRNA. Approximately 70% of the protein is active restrictocin. Restrictocin shares a high degree of amino acid sequence homology with mitogillin, a ribotoxin that cleaves a single phosphodiester bond of the 29S rRNA of eukaryotic ribosomes . Restrictocin is thought to be activated during the process of secretion .

Bordetella pertussis secretes a calmodulin-activated adenylate cyclase toxin, CyaA, that is able to deliver its N-terminal catalytic domain (400 amino acid residues) into the cytosol of eukaryotic target cells, directly through the cytoplasmic membrane. We have previously shown that CyaA

During human infection, Aspergillus fumigatus secretes a 18-kDa protein that can be detected as an immunodominant antigen in the urine of infected patients. Recently, this protein was shown to be mitogillin, a ribotoxin that cleaves a single phosphodiester bond of

Restrictocin is a site-specific endoribonuclease that inactivates ribosomes by cleaving the sarcin/ricin loop (SRL) of 23S-28S rRNA. Here we present a kinetic and thermodynamic analysis of the SRL cleavage reaction based on monitoring the cleavage of RNA oligonucleotides (2-27-mers). Restrictocin

Restrictocin, a member of the fungal ribotoxin family, specifically cleaves a single phosphodiester bond in the 28S rRNA and potently inhibits eukaryotic protein synthesis. Residues Tyr47, His49, Glu95, Phe96, Pro97, Arg120, and His136 have been predicted to form the active
