Ricin uses arginine 235 as an anchor residue to bind to P-proteins of the ribosomal stalk

Ricin toxin A chain (RTA) binds to stalk P-proteins to reach the α–sarcin/ricin loop (SRL) where it cleaves a conserved adenine. Arginine residues at the RTA/RTB interface are involved in this interaction. To investigate the individual contribution of each arginine, we generated single, double and t...
