Spiroplasma

Mycoplasmatota
Bacteria

Spiroplasma (when parasitized by the nematode Howardula aoronymphium) encodes a ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) that is related to Shiga-like toxins from Escherichia coli, and causes Howardula ribosomal RNA (rRNA) to be depurinated during symbiont-mediated protection of D. neotestacea.
