T1  - Interactions of aflatoxin B-1 with SRP components can disrupt protein targeting
N2  - Spectrofluorimetric studies have revealed that aflatoxin B-1 (AFB(1)) interacts with signal recognition particle (SRP), which acts as an escort for polyribosomes with signal peptides to be transported and bound to the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We further report that the binding of AFB(1) to SRP is selective as it only binds to two (SRP9 and 14) out of its three constituent polypeptides studied. Binding of AFB(1) to proteins is known to alter their conformations. Interactions of AFB(1) with SRP polypeptides may generate structural and functional alterations in this particle and hinder secretory protein synthesis. Copyright (C) 2004 John Wiley Sons, Ltd
