Abstract
A new family of single chain (type 1) ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs), that we have named ebulitins, have been found in mature leaves of Sambucus ebulus L., a caprifoliaceae plant also known to contain a non-toxic two chain (type 2) RIP named ebulin 1 in its leaves. Ebulitins are basic proteins of M r 32,000, 29,000 and 29,000 for ebulitins α, β and γ, respectively. The simultaneous presence of different basic type 1 and acidic type 2 RIPs in the same plant and in the same tissue is described here for the first time and opens a new door in research into RIPs.Keywords
