Plant antimicrobial peptides [PDF]

Folia Microbiologica, 2013
Plant antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a component of barrier defense system of plants. They have been isolated from roots, seeds, flowers, stems, and leaves of a wide variety of species and have activities towards phytopathogens, as well as against bacteria pathogenic to humans.

An Efficient Approach for the Design and Synthesis of Antimicrobial Peptide-Peptide Nucleic Acid Conjugates

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022
Peptide-Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) conjugates targeting essential bacterial genes have shown significant potential in developing novel antisense antimicrobials. The majority of efforts in this area are focused on identifying different PNA targets and the

A synthetic peptide based on large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) IFNG1R protein sequence has potential antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas plecoglossicida

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The overuse of antibiotics leads to the emergence of bacterial resistance, which poses a serious threat to aquaculture. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) display excellent antimicrobial activity and are thought to be the most feasible replacements for ...

Novel antimicrobial activities of a peptide derived from a Japanese soybean fermented food, Natto, against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Bacillus subtilis group strains

AMB Express, 2017
We recently isolated a tumoricidal peptide from Natto, a Japanese traditional fermented food. In the present study, antimicrobial activity of the Natto peptide was examined. The peptide consisted of 45 amino acid residues, and its structure was predicted

Targeted Antimicrobial Peptides [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2012
The existence of natural antimicrobial substances, contributing to the mechanisms of host defenses, has been recognized since the late nineteenth century. In 1963, the in vitro antibacterial activity of leukocyte extracts was attributed to basic proteins.

Design of a novel tryptophan-rich membrane-active antimicrobial peptide from the membrane-proximal region of the HIV glycoprotein, gp41

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2012
A number of physicochemical characteristics have been described which contribute to the biological activity of antimicrobial peptides. This information was used to design a novel antimicrobial peptide sequence by using an intrinsically inactive membrane ...

Worms’ Antimicrobial Peptides [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2019
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are natural antibiotics produced by all living organisms. In metazoans, they act as host defense factors by eliminating microbial pathogens. But they also help to select the colonizing bacterial symbionts while coping with specific environmental challenges.

The pseudokinase NIPI-4 is a novel regulator of antimicrobial peptide gene expression. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Hosts have developed diverse mechanisms to counter the pathogens they face in their natural environment. Throughout the plant and animal kingdoms, the up-regulation of antimicrobial peptides is a common response to infection. In C.

Wheat antimicrobial peptides

Russian Journal of Genetics: Applied Research, 2013
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are low-molecular-weight defense polypeptides, produced in all living organisms either constitutively or upon perception of signals from pathogenic microorganisms. They are important components of the immune system in both animals and plants. AMPs differ in structure and mode of action. Most of them belong to cysteine-rich
