Antifungal Activity of Ageritin, a Ribotoxin-like Protein from <i>Cyclocybe aegerita</i> Edible Mushroom, against Phytopathogenic Fungi

Ageritin from poplar mushrooms is a specific endonuclease that hydrolyzes a single phosphodiester bond located in the sarcin-ricin loop (SRL) of the large rRNA, thereby blocking protein synthesis. Considering the possible biotechnological use of this enzyme, here we report its antifungal activity ag...
