Maize Ribosome-Inactivating Protein Uses Lys158–Lys161 to Interact with Ribosomal Protein P2 and the Strength of Interaction Is Correlated to the Biological Activities

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) inactivate prokaryotic or eukaryotic ribosomes by removing a single adenine in the large ribosomal RNA. Here we show maize RIP (MOD), an atypical RIP with an internal inactivation loop, interacts with the ribosomal stalk protein P2 via Lys158–Lys161, which is lo...
