De novo Assembly of the Pokeweed Genome Provides Insight Into Pokeweed Antiviral Protein (PAP) Gene Expression
Abstract
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are RNA glycosidases thought to function in defense against pathogens. These enzymes remove purine bases from RNAs, including rRNA; the latter activity decreases protein synthesis in vitro, which is hypothesized to limit pathogen proliferation by causing host cell death. Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) is a RIP synthesized by the American pokeweed plant (Phytolacca americana). PAP inhibits virus infection...
