1onk is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Viscum album. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
[ML1_VISAL] The A chain is responsible for inhibiting protein synthesis through the catalytic inactivation of 60S ribosomal subunits by removing adenine from position 4,324 of 28S rRNA. The B chain binds to cell receptors and probably facilitates the entry into the cell of the A chain; B chains are also responsible for cell agglutination (lectin activity). Inhibits growth of the human tumor cell line Molt4.[1][2][3]
