Antibacterial activity in bovine lactoferrin-derived peptides.
Several peptides sharing high sequence homology with lactoferricin B (Lf-cin B) were generated from bovine lactoferrin (Lf) with recombinant chymosin. Two peptides were copurified, one identical to Lf-cin B and another differing from Lf-cin B by the inclusion of a C-terminal alanine (lactoferricin). Two other peptides were copurified from chymosin-hydrolyzed Lf, one differing from Lf-cin B by t...
متن کاملIsolation, evaluation and purification of antibacterial peptides
Antibacterial peptides were isolated from immune haemolymph of Rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros L.) larvae and evaluated for antibacterial activity against bacterial pathogens, viz., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus subtilis, Paenebacillus macerans and Pseudomonas sp. The peptides were found to be stable upto 37°C and antibacterial activity observed at pH 7.0. The peptid...
متن کاملExpression of bovine lactoferrin C-lobe in Rhodococcus erythropolis and its purification and characterization.
A Rhodococcus erythropolis expression system for the bovine lactoferrin C-lobe was constructed. The DNA fragments encoding the BLF C-lobe were amplified and cloned into vector pTip LCH1.2. R. erythropolis carrying the pTip-C-lobe was cultured at 30 degrees C with shaking, and expression of the rBLF C-lobe was induced by adding 1 microg/ml (final concentration) thiostrepton. The rBLF C-lobe was ...
متن کاملMechanisms of the Antibacterial Activity of Lactoferrin and Lactoferrin-derived Peptides
Lactoferrin (Lf), a member of the transferrin family of iron-binding proteins, is now known to have a number of properties, including antibacterial activity towards a broad spectrum of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The mechanism of the antibacterial activity of Lf is complex and involves beside iron-chelation, direct action on bacteria and/or the activation of the immune system. Lac...
متن کاملAntibacterial Effect of Bovine Lactoferrin Against Udder Pathogens
The antibacterial effect of lactoferrin (Lf) was tested on isolates of Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) as well as on Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), originally isolated from bovine mastitis. Concentrations of Lf used were 0.67 mg/ml, 1.67 mg/ml, and 2.67 mg/ml. Growth of u...
