Structure and membrane interactions of the homodimeric antibiotic peptide homotarsinin
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from amphibian skin are valuable template structures to find new treatments against bacterial infections. This work describes for the first time the structure and membrane interactions of a homodimeric AMP. Homotarsinin, which was found in Phyllomedusa tarsius anurans, consists of two identical cystine-linked polypeptide chains each of 24 amino acid residues. The h...
متن کاملInteractions and Membrane Structure
olipin and is responsible for increased catalysis, whereas direct interaction between CT V< 5 and acidic PLA 2 inhibits enzyme activity. It is concluded tha t variabilít} in substrate composition and the chemical nature of both PLA 2 and cationic peptide determine whether enzyme activity is affected by substrate packing or by direct enzyme-peptide interaction. Models of interactions of PLA 2 wi...
متن کاملMembrane Interactions Influence the Peptide Binding
We analyzed the binding of an influenza matrix protein-derived peptide, MAT(17-31), to cell surface and purified DR1. The pH dependence of peptide binding was dramatically influenced by the membrane environment. Cell surface binding was enhanced at low pH, with little or no binding detected at neutral pH and optimal binding at pH 4. By contrast, hydrogen ion concentration had minimal effect on ...
