Functional mapping was carried out to address the amino acid residues responsible for the activity of the antibacterial peptide apidaecin from the honeybee by an in vivo assay system developed previously. The C-terminal region and many of the proline and arginine residues which are present at high frequency in apidaecin were found to play an important role in its antibacterial activity.
通过先前开发的体内测定系统进行功能图谱分析,以确定负责蜜蜂抗菌肽apidaecin活性的氨基酸残基。发现apidaecin中高频出现的C末端区域以及许多脯氨酸和精氨酸残基在其抗菌活性中起重要作用。
