EC 3.2.2.22 Details
EC number
3.2.2.22
Accepted name
rRNA N-glycosylase
Reaction
Hydrolysis of the N-glycosylic bond at A-4324 in 28S rRNA from rat ribosomes
Other name(s)
ribosomal ribonucleate N-glycosidase, nigrin b, RNA N-glycosidase, rRNA N-glycosidase, ricin, momorcochin-S, Mirabilis antiviral protein, momorcochin-S, gelonin, saporins
Systematic name
rRNA N-glycohydrolase
CAS registry number
113756-12-0
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.
