Microbial Cell Surface Display: Its Medical and Environmental Applications
Cell-surface display is the expression of peptides and proteins on the surface of living cells by fusing them tofunctional components of cells which are exposed to the environment of cells. This strategy can be carriedout using different surface proteins of cells as anchoring motifs and different proteins from different sourcesas a passenger protein. It is a promising strategy...
متن کاملSynergistic interactions between mammalian antimicrobial defense peptides.
A single animal can express several cationic antimicrobial peptides with different sequences and structures. We demonstrate that mammalian peptides from different structural classes frequently show synergy with each other and selectively show synergy with human lysozyme.
متن کامل(Lipo)polysaccharide interactions of antimicrobial peptides.
Due to rapidly increasing resistance development against conventional antibiotics, as well as problems associated with diseases either triggered or deteriorated by infection, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory peptides have attracted considerable interest during the last few years. While there is an emerging understanding of the direct antimicrobial function of such peptides through bacterial ...
متن کاملThe Human Antimicrobial Peptides Dermcidin and LL-37 Show Novel Distinct Pathways in Membrane Interactions
Mammals protect themselves from inflammation triggered by microorganisms through secretion of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). One mechanism by which AMPs kill bacterial cells is perforating their membranes. Membrane interactions and pore formation were investigated for α-helical AMPs leading to the formulation of three basic mechanistic models: the barrel stave, toroidal, and carpet model. One m...
متن کاملCationic Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs): Thermodynamic Characterization of Peptide–Lipid Interactions and Biological Efficacy of Surface-Tethered Peptides
The worldwide emergence of bacterial superbugs, and the limited number of effective antibiotic against them, has become an unresolved public catastrophe. According to a report from the World Health Organization in 2014, the resistance rate in a common bacterial pathogen such as Escherichia coli is high enough to limit the efficacy of currently available oral treatment options for patients with ...
