Bonness M, Ready M, Irvin J, Mabry T
Plant J . 1994 Feb; 5(2):173-83. PMID: 8148876
Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) and other ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) had previously been thought to be incapable of attacking conspecific ribosomes, thus having no effect on endogenous processes. This assertion conflicts...

Hart P, Monzingo A, Ready M, Ernst S, Robertus J
J Mol Biol . 1993 Jan; 229(1):189-93. PMID: 8421299
Higher plants contain multiple constitutively expressed proteins for defense against infection by viruses, bacteria, and fungi. One such class of proteins, the chitinases, are effective antifungal agents because they hydrolyze...

Hart P, Ready M, Robertus J
J Mol Biol . 1992 May; 225(2):565-7. PMID: 1593638
Higher plants contain several constitutively expressed proteins for protection against infections by viruses, bacteria and fungi. Here we report the crystallization of a polypeptide with antifungal activity, a 26,000 dalton...

Kim Y, Mlsna D, Monzingo A, Ready M, Frankel A, Robertus J
Biochemistry . 1992 Mar; 31(12):3294-6. PMID: 1348187
Ricin A chain is an N-glycosidase which removes a single adenine base from a conservative loop of 28S rRNA, thereby inactivating eukaryotic ribosomes. The mechanism of action has been proposed...

Ready M, Kim Y, Robertus J
Proteins . 1991 Jan; 10(3):270-8. PMID: 1881883
Ricin A-chain is an N-glycosidase that attacks ribosomal RNA at a highly conserved adenine residue. The enzyme is representative of a large family of medically significant proteins used in the...

Rutenber E, Katzin B, Ernst S, Collins E, Mlsna D, Ready M, et al.
Proteins . 1991 Jan; 10(3):240-50. PMID: 1881880
The plant cytotoxin ricin consists of two disulfide-linked chains, each of about 30,000 daltons. An initial model based on a 2.8 A MIR electron density map has been refined against...

Ready M, Katzin B, Robertus J
Proteins . 1988 Jan; 3(1):53-9. PMID: 2453878
Plant ribosome-inhibiting proteins are shown to be homologous at the domain level to RNase H from Escherichia coli and to two regions of the pol gene product of retroviral reverse...

Ready M, Brown D, Robertus J
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 1986 Jul; 83(14):5053-6. PMID: 3523481
Pokeweed antiviral protein is an enzyme of Mr 29,000 known to inactivate a wide variety of eukaryotic ribosomes. We have used electron microscopy to show that the antibody specific for...

Ready M, Adams R, Robertus J
Biochim Biophys Acta . 1984 Dec; 791(3):314-9. PMID: 6440592
Dodecandrin, a newly discovered ribosome-inhibiting protein, has been isolated and purified from the leaves of the African endod plant, Phytolacca dodecandra. Dodecandrin has a molecular weight of approx. 29 000....

Robertus J, Ready M
J Biol Chem . 1984 Nov; 259(22):13953-6. PMID: 6501282
The galactoside-binding B chain of the cytotoxic protein ricin is apparently derived from a conservative exon-sized 40-residue peptide which is repeated four times in the molecule. A very similar peptide...
