Abstract

(1) To determine whether the A chain of ricin by itself carries all the information permitting membrane translocation; (2) to delineate a translocation domain in ricin A chain and to identify key residues involved in the membrane traversal event; (3) to determine whether there is a requirement for proteolytic processing prior to membrane translocation.
