A 13-residue peptide corresponding to a hydrophobic segment of the antimicrobial 47-residue peptide seminalplasmin, PKLLETFLSKWIG (SPF), has been shown to have antibacterial and hemolytic activities (N. Sitaram and R. Nagaraj, J. Biol. Chem. 265:10438-10442, 1990). In an effort to get an insight into the structural and charge requirements for these biological activities, an analog of SPF in which Glu has been replaced with Lys has been synthesized and its antibacterial and hemolytic properties have been examined. It has been demonstrated that the analog, SPFK, exhibits potent antibacterial activity at concentrations at which hemolysis does not occur.
一种由13个氨基酸残基组成的肽,对应于抗菌性47个氨基酸残基的肽精浆蛋白(PKLLETFLSKWIG,简称SPF)的疏水片段,已被证明具有抗菌和溶血活性(N. 西塔拉姆和R. 纳加拉吉,《生物化学杂志》265:10438 - 10442,1990年)。为了深入了解这些生物活性的结构和电荷要求,合成了一种SPF类似物,其中谷氨酸被赖氨酸取代,并检测了其抗菌和溶血特性。已经证明,该类似物SPFK在不发生溶血的浓度下表现出强大的抗菌活性。
