Novel Class of Potential Therapeutics that Target Ricin Retrograde Translocation

Novel Class of Potential Therapeutics that Target Ricin Retrograde Translocation

Ricin toxin, an A-B toxin from Ricinus communis, induces cell death through the inhibition of protein synthesis. The toxin binds to the cell surface via its B chain (RTB) followed by its retrograde trafficking through intracellular compartments to the ER where the A chain (RTA) is transported across...
