Short peptides derived from the NH2-terminus of subclass IIa bacteriocin enterocin CRL35 show antimicrobial activity.
OBJECTIVES Subclass IIa bacteriocins are characterized by a hydrophilic N-terminal domain that shares a YGNGVxCxxxxC consensus and a variable hydrophobic C-terminus. Enterocin CRL35 is a 43-amino-acid heat stable peptide with antilisterial activity. Short synthetic peptides derived from the N-terminal half of enterocin CRL35 and other subclass IIa bacteriocins were evaluated for antimicrobial p...
متن کاملAvian adenovirus induces ion channels in model bilayer lipid membranes.
The action of duck egg drop syndrome 1976 (EDS-76) adenovirus on model bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) has been investigated on planar egg phosphatidylcholine membranes and small unilamellar vesicles. It was found that the adenovirus formed channels in planar BLM in a pH-dependent manner. The addition of EDS-76 to planar BLM at pH 5 induced voltage-independent channel activity of about 60 pS cond...
متن کاملCytochrome c specifically induces non-bilayer structures in cardiolipin-containing model membranes.
(1) The effect of cytochrome c addition on the phospholipid structure of liposomes composed of cardiolipin, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine in a pure form or in mixtures was investigated by 31P-NMR and freeze-fracture techniques. (2) Cytochrome c specifically induces the hexagonal Hii phase and possibly an inverted micellar structure of...
متن کاملEnhancement of antibiotic activity by sub-lethal concentrations of enterocin CRL35.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the interaction of several conventional antibiotics with sub-lethal concentrations of enterocin CRL35, a cationic peptide, on Listeria innocua 7. METHODS Susceptibility of L. innocua 7 cells to the combination of enterocin CRL35 and non-peptide antibiotics (cefalexin, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, vanc...
متن کاملProtein folding in membranes: determining energetics of peptide-bilayer interactions.
Although the problem of the folding of soluble proteins continues to resist solution, we at least have a strong understanding of the general thermodynamic principles1,2 and have available a wealth of thermodynamic data.3-5 The study of membrane protein folding and stability is much less advanced: Some general principles are emerging,6-9 but the amount of thermodynamic data available remains qui...
