Saporin is a ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP); alone, saporin does not selectively inactive ribosomes but rather conjugate with other molecules like peptides <ref name="basel">DOI:

Of these types, saporin is a type I. Ribosome inactivating proteins catalyze a cleavages N-glycosidic bond that is formed between the ribosome and adenine <ref name="rcsb">DOI: 10.1016/s0014-5793(00)01325-9</ref>. This adenine has the role of binding EF-1 and EF-2 to a ribosome <ref name="rcsb" />. EF stands for elongation factor. Since adenine no longer has a bond to the ribosome, the elongation step in translation cannot occur because the elongation factors cannot bind to just the ribosome. The specific elongation factor that is inhibited is elongation factor 2, which causes irreversible damage and disallows protein synthesis <ref name="ncbi" />.
