'''Ribosome inactivating protein''' (RIP) is a bacterial or plant toxin which inhibits protein synthesis. RIP inactivates the ribosomal 60S subunit by N-glycosidic cleavage which results in releasing a specific adenine from 28S rRNA. Type 1 RIP has a single chain, while type 2 RIP has two chains. Enhanced expression of RIP in plants confers an increased resistance to virus, fungi, insects, drought and salinity. | '''Ribosome inactivating protein''' (RIP) is a bacterial or plant toxin which inhibits protein synthesis.
