Antimicrobial antithrombin III peptide 1 Antimicrobial effects of helix D-derived peptides of human antithrombin III*
Antithrombin III (ATIII) is a key antiproteinase involved in blood coagulation. Previous investigations have shown that ATIII is degraded by Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease, leading to release of heparin binding fragments derived from its D helix. As heparin binding and antimicrobial activity of peptides frequently overlap, we here set out to explore possible antibacterial effects of intact a...
متن کاملStructural studies on the carbohydrate portion of human antithrombin III.
Human antithrombin III has been shown to contain four identical N-glycosidically linked carbohydrate chain per molecule. These carbohydrate chains have been investigated by sugar and methylation analysis before and after removal of N-acetylneuraminic acid residues. The chains have been further investigated by Smith degradation, trifluoroacetolytic degradation, and degradation after chromium tri...
متن کاملCharacterization of an unusual DNA length polymorphism 5' to the human antithrombin III gene.
Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that a DNA length polymorphism 5' to the human antithrombin III gene is due to the presence of 32bp or 108bp nonhomologous nucleotide sequences (variable segments) 345bp upstream from the translation initiation codon. Sequences at the 3' borders of both variable segments can form intrastrand inverted repeat structures with sequences further downstream. An i...
متن کاملA novel deletion and two recurrent substitutions on type VII collagen gene in seven Iranian patients with epidermolysis bullosa
Objective(s): Epidermolysis bullosa is one of the most important series of mechano-bullous heritable skin disorders which is categorized into four major types according to the layer that bullae forms within basement membrane zone. In dystrophic form of the disease, blisters are made in the sublamina densa zone, at the level of type VII collagen protein which produce anchoring fibrils. Type VII ...
متن کاملPartial deletion of an antithrombin III allele in a kindred with a type 1 deficiency.
This report details the precise mapping of a partially deleted human antithrombin III (AT-III) allele, found in a kindred with an inherited type 1 AT-III deficiency. Using truncated AT-III probes generated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification from a full-length AT-III cDNA, as well as other genomic probes specific for the 5' upstream region of the AT-III gene, we were able to charac...
