Antimicrobial activity of pleurocidin is retained in Plc-2, a C-terminal 12-amino acid fragment
An analysis of a series of five peptides composed of various portions of the pleurocidin (Plc) sequence identified a l2-amino acid fragment from the C-terminus of Plc, designated Plc-2, as the smallest fragment that retained a antimicrobial activity comparable to that of the parent compound. MIC tests in vitro with low-ionic-strength medium showed that Plc-2 has potent activity against Pseudomo...
متن کاملAnticandida activity is retained in P-113, a 12-amino-acid fragment of histatin 5.
Through the analysis of a series of 25 peptides composed of various portions of the histatin 5 sequence, we have identified P-113, a 12-amino-acid fragment of histatin 5, as the smallest fragment that retains anticandidal activity comparable to that of the parent compound. Amidation of the P-113 C terminus increased the anticandidal activity of P-113 approximately twofold. The three histidine r...
متن کاملInfluence of the N- and C-terminal regions of antimicrobial peptide pleurocidin on antibacterial activity.
Pleurocidin, a 25-mer antimicrobial peptide, has been known to exhibit potent antibacterial activity. To investigate the functional roles in N- and C-terminal regions of pleurocidin on the antibacterial activity, we designed four truncated analogs. The antibacterial susceptibility testing showed that pleurocidin and its analogs exerted antibacterial effect against various bacterial strains and ...
متن کاملInfluence of the hydrophobic amino acids in the N- and C-terminal regions of pleurocidin on antifungal activity.
To investigate the influence of N- or C-terminal regions of pleurocidin (Ple) peptide on the antifungal activity, four analogues partially truncated in the N- or C-terminal regions were designed and synthesized. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy demonstrated that all the analogues maintained an alpha-helical structure. The antifungal susceptibility testing also showed that the analogues exhi...
