Cathelicidin impact on inflammatory cells
Central European Journal of Immunology, 2015 Cathelicidins, like other antimicrobial peptides, exhibit direct antimicrobial activities against a broad spectrum of microbes, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, enveloped viruses, and fungi. These host-derived peptides kill the invaded pathogens by perturbing their cell membranes and can neutralize biological activities of ...

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.

Cathelicidin-derived antiviral peptide inhibits herpes simplex virus 1 infection
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is a widely distributed virus. HSV-1 is a growing public health concern due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains and the current lack of a clinically specific drug for treatment.

Expression of Cathelicidin in Human Salivary Glands [PDF]
Archives of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, 2003 Salivary secretions play a critical role in maintaining oral health via innate host defense mechanisms and secretion of secretory IgA. One of the antimicrobial peptides, LL-37, is the only cathelicidin protein that has yet been identified in humans. Cathelicidins are a family of peptides thought to provide an innate defensive barrier against a variety ...

Southern African Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021 Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of pneumonia mortality globally. Pneumococcal disease is often associated with prolonged colonisation of hosts and this process is facilitated by biofilm formation that is largely resistant to conventional ...

cDNA sequences of three sheep myeloid cathelicidins
, 1995 Several myeloid antimicrobial peptide precursors have been shown to consist of a N-terminal proregion similar to a protein named cathelin and a structurally varied C-terminal antimicrobial domain.
