核糖体失活蛋白的结构功能与分布

核糖体失活蛋白是一类在植物中较广泛存在的毒蛋白。植物核糖体失活蛋白具有RNAN-糖苷酶活力,可作用于核糖体RNA,使核糖体失去蛋白质合成的功能。根据一级结构,核糖体失活蛋白可分为两种类型。Ⅰ型核糖体失活蛋白由一条链组成,分子量在25—30 kDa之间。Ⅱ型核糖体失活蛋白由两条以二硫键相连的链(A、B链)组成,分子量在60 kDa左右。B链可以与细胞表面含半乳糖的受体结合,有助于A链进入细胞,作用于核糖体。目前至少已从9个科31种植物中分离纯化了Ⅰ型RIP。Ⅱ型RIP较少,仅在6科8种植物中发现。除了具有RNA N-糖苷酶活性,还发现一些核糖体失活蛋白可以切割超螺旋双链DNA,产生缺口环状和线状DNA。此外,一种Ⅰ型RIP,克木毒蛋白还具有超氧化物歧化酶活性。

核糖体失活蛋白及其在植物抗真菌病基因工程中的应用

真菌病是农作物减产的主要原因之一。而植物界大量存在着具有离体抑制真菌生长增殖能力的蛋白质,核糖体失活蛋白（ＲＩＰ,ｒｉｂｏｓｏｍｅ ｉｎａｃｔｉｖａｔｉｎｇ ｐｒｏｔｅｉｎ）就是其一。它能特异地水解核糖体ＲＮＡ ３′－端茎环结构的腺嘌呤残基而导致核糖体失活,进而抑制蛋白合成。但它却不使自身的核糖体失活,只对其它物种核糖体显示高度特异性,这显然具有防止外来病原体侵染的功能。利用基因工程技术,使其在一些经济作物中高效表达,筛选具有抗性的转基因植株,这正日益成为植物真菌病防治的新途径。它克服了常规育种周期长,抗性种质缺乏的弊端,更避免了施用农药带来的环境污染等问题,其应用前景甚为广阔。围绕其在真菌病基因工程中的应用,本文对核糖体失活蛋白在植物体中的分布、分类、生化、结构、功能特性、作用机制以及应用前景等作简要、全面的

Effects of the active aldehyde group generated by RNA N-glycosidase in the sarcin/ricin domain of rat 28S ribosomal RNA on peptide elongation

Effects of the active aldehyde group of ribose C1' at position 4324 of rat 28S rRNA, in the inactivated ribosome generated by RNA N-glycosidases (trichosanthin, A-chain of cinnamomin and ricin), on peptide elongation have been studied. The aldehyde group inhibits the activities of eEF1A-dependent aminoacyl-tRNA binding to the inactivated ribosome and eEF1A-dependent GTPase, but increases eEF2-dependent activity. At a high concentration of RNA N-glycosidase, the generated aldehyde group also inhibits aminoacyl-tRNA binding to the inactivated ribosome in the absence of elongation factor and translocation activity. When the aldehyde group is reduced into a hydroxyl group by sodium borohydride or blocked with an amino acid through nucleophilic addition, the activities of eEF1A-dependent aminoacyl-tRNA binding and eEF1A-dependent GTPase of the inactivated ribosome are partially restored, but the altered activities of eEF2-dependent GTPase, translocation and aminoacyl-tRNA binding in the absence of elongation factor are not normalized. Thus, reduction or blockage of the aldehyde group with sodium borohydride or amino acids might change the conformation of the S/R domain in rat 28S ribosomal RNA to meet the requirement for eEF1A-dependent reactions, but not eEF2-involved reactions.     

Minireview: enzymatic properties of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) and related toxins.

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a group of proteins that inhibit protein synthesis in eucaryotic cells. While the biological effects have been well characterized, the underlying enzymatic mechanisms have not been elucidated until recently. Two different mechanisms have been identified. Plant and bacterial RIPs act as N-glycosidases. They cleave a single N-glycosidic bond between adenine and ribose at a specific nucleotide A-4324 of the 28S rRNA of the 60S ribosomal subunit. On the other hand, the fungal RIPs act as ribonucleases and cleave a single phosphodiester bond between G-4325 and A-4326 of the same rRNA, just one nucleotide away from the site of action of plant/bacterial RIPs. Other protein synthesis inhibitory proteins act by their ADP-ribosyltransferase activity which modify and thus inactivate elongation factor-2. Recently, some toxins have been shown to possess deoxyribonuclease activity which may also account for their toxicity.     

A new assay to measure RNA N-glycosidase activity

We have developed a convenient procedure to measure the activity of Ricin A-chain and other enzymes with RNA N-glycosidase activity. The method is based on the use of a tritiated oligoribonucleotide as a substrate. The enzymatic activity is directly determined by measuring the release of adenine from the substrate. This method should prove useful in the study of the molecular mechanism of action of Ricin A and other RNA N-glycosidases.     

Modification of ribosomal RNA by ribosome-inactivating proteins from plants.

We have surveyed 14 different toxic and nontoxic ribosome-inactivating proteins from plants for the ability to act on the RNA of the eucaryotic 60 S ribosomal subunit. All of these proteins act to introduce a specific modification into 26-28 S RNA which renders the RNA sensitive to cleavage by aniline. Sequence analysis of the 5'-termini of the fragments produced by ricin and saporin following aniline cleavage indicate that both proteins possess identical specificity. Our observations support the conclusion of Endo and Tsurugi (J. Biol. Chem. 262, 8128-8130, 1987) that ricin is a specific N-glycosidase and we have located the site of this cleavage by direct sequence analysis. Our results further suggest that all plant ribosome-inactivating proteins function as specific N-glycosidases with the same specificity.
