Sysname
rRNA N-glycohydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB)
Hydrolysis of the N-glycosylic bond at A-4324 in 28S rRNA from rat ribosomes
Comment
Ricin A-chain and related toxins show this activity. Naked rRNA is attacked more slowly than rRNA in intact ribosomes. Naked rRNA from Escherichia coli is cleaved at a corresponding position.
