Alpha-amanitin, the main toxin of the death cap fungus (Amanita phalloides) is one of the most dangerous natural poison. This toxin damages eukaryotic cells by inhibiting their transcription. Lesions are seen in cells with rapid protein synthesis, particular in liver

The locus responsible for encoding resistance to alpha-amanitin was previously mapped to the vaccinia virus (VV) HindIII N fragment by using cloned wild-type VV DNA fragments to rescue the ability of an alpha-amanitin-resistant/temperature-sensitive VV mutant (alpha rts7) to replicate under

Bovine cumulus oocyte complexes were cultured for various periods and either denuded and orcein stained or radiolabeled with 35S-methionine or 32P-orthophosphate. Specific inhibitors were added to the culture medium to investigate mRNA and protein synthesis requirements for both nuclear and
