Correlations between differences in amino-terminal sequences and different hemolytic activity of sticholysins

, 2007
Sticholysins I and II (St I and St II) are cytolysins produced by the sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus. In spite of their 93% sequence homology, St II is more hemolytic against human erythrocytes than St 1.

Crystal and Electron Microscopy Structures of Sticholysin II Actinoporin Reveal Insights into the Mechanism of Membrane Pore Formation

, 2003
Sticholysin II (StnII) is a pore-forming protein (PFP) produced by the sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus. We found out that StnII exists in a monomeric soluble state but forms tetramers in the presence of a lipidic interface. Both structures have been

Potent Human α‑Amylase Inhibition by the β‑Defensin-like Protein Helianthamide

, 2016
Selective inhibitors of human pancreatic α-amylase (HPA) are an effective means of controlling blood sugar levels in the management of diabetes. A high-throughput screen of marine natural product extracts led to the identification of a potent (Ki = 10 pM)

Solution structure of a defensin-like peptide from platypus venom

, 1999
Three defensin-like peptides (DLPs) were isolated from platypus venom and sequenced. One of these peptides, DLP-1, was synthesized chemically and its three-dimensional structure was determined using NMR spectroscopy.
