Alpha-amanitin, the main toxin of the death cap fungus (Amanita phalloides) is one of the most dangerous natural poison. This toxin damages eukaryotic cells by inhibiting their transcription. Lesions are seen in cells with rapid protein synthesis, particular in liver
Virology, 182(1), 393-396 (1991-05-01)
The locus responsible for encoding resistance to alpha-amanitin was previously mapped to the vaccinia virus (VV) HindIII N fragment by using cloned wild-type VV DNA fragments to rescue the ability of an alpha-amanitin-resistant/temperature-sensitive VV mutant (alpha rts7) to replicate under
International journal of peptide and protein research, 22(3), 257-276 (1983-09-01)
The results of 50 years of effort in the chemistry of Amanita toxins are reviewed. The phallotoxins, fast acting components, but not responsible for fatal intoxications after ingestion, are bicyclic heptapeptides. They combine with F-actin, stabilizing this protein against several
Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society, 3(5), 750-756 (1994-05-01)
Four amatoxin-binding proteins with KD values in the nanomolar range, 3 monoclonal antibodies and RNA polymerase II, were studied with respect to their affinities to 24 alpha-amanitin derivatives with modified side chains. From KD values we estimated the amounts of
