RESUMEN

A full-length cDNA encoding ribosome-inactivating/antiviral protein (RIP/AVP)from the leaves of Bougainvillea x buttiana was isolated.The cDNA consisted of 1364 nucleotides with an open reading frame (ORF)of 960 nucleotides encoding a 35.49 kDa protein of 319 amino acids.The deduced amino acid sequence has a putative active domain conserved in RIPs/AVPs and shows a varying phylogenetic relationship to the RIPs from other plant species.The deduced protein has been designated BBAP1 (Bougainvillea x buttiana antiviral protein1).The ORF was cloned into an expression vector and expressed in E.coli as a fusion protein of approximately 78 kDa.The cleaved and purified recombinant BBAP1 exhibited ribosome-inhibiting rRNA N-glycosidase activity,and imparted a high level of resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV).

RESUMEN

The report that gelonin cross-linked with monoclonal antibodies with the use of 2-iminothiolane (2-IT) exhibited higher cytotoxicity than the conjugates prepared with the use of N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridylthio) propionate (SPDP) alone, has prompted us to investigate the effect of epsilon-NH2 group modification with 2-IT on the ribosome-inactivating property (RIP) of gelonin. The purified gelonin was modified with 2-IT at a different molar ratio and their effects on immunoreactivity and ribosome-inactivating property were compared with those of N-succinimidyl 6-[3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionamido] hexanoate (long chain-SPDP) and SPDP modified gelonin derivatives. Modification of single amino group with 2-IT results in about 25-50% inhibition of immunoreactivity and 60-70% loss of protein synthesis inhibition activity. Modification of 2-3 amino groups further hampers both immunoreactivity and protein synthesis inhibition property of gelonin. Both the long chain-SPDP with SPDP modifications showed more pronounced effects on immunoreactivity and RIP activity as compared to the similar ratio of 2-IT modification(s). It may, therefore, be concluded that the positive charge plays an important role in the immunological as well as the protein synthesis inhibitory effect of gelonin.

RESUMEN

Ribosome-inactivating protein, gelonin, isolated from an Indian plant Gelonium multiflorum of Euphorbiaceae family has been used to design and synthesize immunotoxins and hormonotoxins for selective targeting purposes. Since gelonin isolated by aqueous extraction, cation-exchange chromatography and gel-filtration chromatography (Method I), contains non-proteinous material absorbing at 280 nm, the ammonium sulphate precipitation method (Method II) and Cibacron blue affinity chromatography method. (Method III) have been used to purify gelonin from the dry seeds. Three batches of gelonin purified by each method were prepared and subjected to extensive physico-chemical and immunochemical characterization. The molecular weight was determined by gel-filtration chromatography on a pre-calibrated Sephadex G-100, TSK-G4000 TW on HPLC or Superose-12 on fast protein liquid chromatography. In all cases, the molecular weight was approximately 30,000Da. The SDS-PAGE also revealed a homogeneous protein of 30kDa molecular weight. In Method II, the non-proteinous material which binds to CMC-gel in association of gelonin was substantially removed during ammonium sulphate fractionation. A careful analysis clearly revealed that Method II, although yielded low protein, gave gelonin devoid of the non-proteinous material. The SPDP modification of epsilon-NH2 groups of gelonin obtained from Methods I, II, and III was also carried out and its effect on immunoreactivity was studied.
