Phosphoinositide-mediated oligomerization of a defensin induces cell lysis
Cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAPs) such as defensins are ubiquitously found innate immune molecules that often exhibit broad activity against microbial pathogens and mammalian tumor cells.

The Three-dimensional Solution Structure of NaD1, a New Floral Defensin from Nicotiana alata and its Application to a Homology Model of the Crop Defense Protein alfAFP [PDF]
NMR spectroscopy and simulated annealing calculations have been used to determine the three-dimensional structure of NaD1, a novel antifungal and insecticidal protein isolated from the flowers of Nicotiana alata. NaD1 is a basic, cysteine-rich protein of

The plant defensin NaD1 induces tumor cell death via a non-apoptotic, membranolytic process [PDF]
AbstractCationic anti-microbial peptides (CAPs) have an important role in host innate defense against pathogens such as bacteria and fungi. Many CAPs including defensins also exhibit selective cytotoxic activity towards mammalian cells via both apoptotic and non-apoptotic processes, and are being investigated as potential anticancer agents.

ESTs matching to the nad1 gene, and nad1 ESTs with a polyA stretch corresponding to the polyA tail of the mature nad1 transcript. [PDF]
aESTs publicly available at 20 Feb, 2012.bESTs with a terminal polyA stretch >10 bp, mapping to the end of nad1. Polyadenylated ESTs mapping well inside the nad1 gene have not been considered, as they are mostly cDNA artefacts originated from the ...
