Abstract
Isolated DNA for a ribosome-inactivating protein found in the tissues of Zea mays is disclosed. The invention also encompasses the protein itself, transgenic plants containing the DNA, DNA constructs for producing the protein, and a host cell containing the DNA.
Claims5
Isolated DNA encoding a ribosome-inactivating protein, said DNA being selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) isolated DNA having the sequence given herein as SEQ ID NO:1;
- and
- (b) isolated DNAs differing from the isolated DNA of (a) above in nucleotide sequence due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, and which encode a ribosome inactivating protein encoded by isolated DNA of (a) above.
Isolated DNA encoding a ribosome-inactivating protein having the sequence given herein as SEQ ID NO:1.
