The N-glycosidase mechanism of ribosome-inactivating proteins implied by crystal structures of alpha-momorcharin.
BACKGROUND: alpha-Momorcharin (alpha MMC) is a type I ribosome-inactivating protein. It inhibits protein synthesis by hydrolytically removing a specific adenine residue from a highly conserved, single-stranded loop of rRNA. RESULTS: Here we describe the determination and refinement of the crystal st...
