single chain fragment variable antibody, blocks interaction between trichosanthin K173, R174, and K177 residues and ribosomal P proteins protecting ribosomes from inactivation
transition state analogue inhibitors contraining 9-deazaadenine-9-methylene-N-hydroxypyrrolidine. The tight-binding inhibitors mimic the sarcin-ricin recognition loop of 28S rRNA and the dissociative ribocation transition state established for RTA catalysis. RTA has a unique purine-binding geometry with quadruple pi-stacking interactions between adjacent adenine and guanine bases and 2 conserved tyrosines. An arginine at one end of the pi-stack provides cationic polarization and enhanced leaving group ability to the susceptible adenine. Inhibition mechanism, overview
transition state analogue mimics of small oligonucleotide substrates of saporin-L1, e.g. A10 or A14 RNA or cyclic oxime GAGA, are powerful, slow-onset and tight-binding inhibitors when adenosine is replaced with the transition state mimic 9-deazaadenine-9-methylene-N-hydroxypyrrolidine. The inhibitors bind up to 40000fold tighter than RNA substrates and prevent saporin-L1 inhibition of rabbit reticulocyte translation. Saporin-S6 is resistant to inhibition by the compounds, overview
