Genetic diversity of Japanese quail cathelicidins
Poultry Science, 2021 Japanese quail is a low-fat, meat-bird species exhibiting high disease resistance. Cathelicidins (CATHs) are host defense peptides conserved across numerous vertebrate species that play an important role in innate immunity. The activity of host defense peptides can be affected by amino acid substitutions.

Cathelicidin Attenuates Hyperoxia-Induced Lung Injury by Inhibiting Ferroptosis in Newborn Rats
Antioxidants, 2022 High oxygen concentrations are often required to treat newborn infants with respiratory distress but have adverse effects, such as increased oxidative stress and ferroptosis and impaired alveolarization.

Destabilization of α-helical structure in solution improves bactericidal activity of antimicrobial peptides: Opposing effects on bacterial and viral targets [PDF]
, 2016 We have previously examined the mechanism of antimicrobial peptides on the outer membrane of vaccinia virus. Here we show that the formulation of peptides LL37 and magainin-2B amide in polysorbate 20 (Tween-20™) results in greater reductions in virus ...

Streptococcal M1 Strikes by Neutralizing Cathelicidins [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2015 Virulent group A streptococci have become a serious threat, with the emergence of the hypervirulent lineage M1T1. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, LaRock et al. (2015), uncover a role for the streptococcal M1 protein in neutralizing a key human antimicrobial peptide, cathelicidin.
