  • Title: Characterization of Mirabilis antiviral protein--a ribosome inactivating protein from Mirabilis jalapa L.
    Author: Wong RN, Ng TB, Chan SH, Dong TX, Yeung HW.
    Journal: Biochem Int; 1992 Dec; 28(4):585-93. PubMed ID: 1482397.
    Abstract:
    A protein was purified from root tubers of Mirabilis jalapa to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sepharose CL-6B and FPLC on Mono-S column. The purified protein was confirmed to be Mirabilis antiviral protein (MAP). However, in addition to its antiviral property, the MAP was demonstrated to possess abortifacient activity in pregnant mice, inhibitory effect on cell-free protein synthesis and antiproliferative effect on tumor cells. As judged from its biological and physiochemical properties, MAP is a type I ribosome-inactivating protein.
