Isolation and in vitro expression of the ricin A-chain gene: effect of deletions on biological activity.

The gene encoding the ricin A-chain was isolated and subcloned into an in vitro expression vector downstream from the SP6 promotor. mRNA encoding the A-chain strongly inhibited the translational activity of reticulocyte lysates. The inhibition correlated with glycosylase activity on rRNA, and could be abolished by addition of antibodies specific for ricin. mRNA generated after linearization of the vector at unique restriction sites within the A-chain coding sequence did not inhibit, except after linearization with ScaI. Also mutants lacking the 28 N-terminal amino acids of native A-chain strongly inhibited the lysates. However, in both cases no glycosylase activity could be observed. We also show that the lack of a stop codon in mRNA does not affect the level of expression as assayed here.
