  • Title: Plant toxins.
    Author: Lord JM, Roberts LM.
    Journal: Microbiol Sci; 1987 Dec; 4(12):376-8. PubMed ID: 3153610.
    Abstract:
    Many plants produce toxic proteins capable of inactivating eukaryotic ribosomes and thereby arresting protein synthesis. In certain plants the gene for a ribosome-inactivating protein has fused with a gene encoding an independent sugar-binding polypeptide to generate heterodimeric proteins which are among the most potent cytotoxins known.
