==Overview==
==Overview==
Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) is a ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP), which enzymatically removes a single adenine base from a conserved, surface exposed loop sequence of ribosomal rRNA. We now present, unprecedented experimental evidence that PAP can release not only adenine, but guanine as well from Escherichia coli rRNA, albeit at a rate 20 times, slower than for adenine. We also report X-ray structure analysis and, supporting modeling studies for the interactions of PAP with guanine. Our, modeling studies indicated that PAP can accommodate a guanine base in the, active site pocket without large conformational changes. This prediction, was experimentally confirmed, since a guanine base was visible in the, active site pocket of the crystal structure of the PAP-guanine complex.
