Circular plant peptides as templates for GPCR drug discovery?
Background Cyclotides are disulfide-rich miniproteins with the unique structural features of a circular backbone and knotted arrangement of three conserved disulfide bonds. These features make them exceptionally stable and they have applications as plant defense (insecticidal) agents and stable drug frameworks. So far they have been found mainly in two plant families, including in every species...
متن کاملImmunosuppressive peptides and their therapeutic applications☆
The immune system is vital for detecting and evading endogenous and exogenous threats to the body. Failure to regulate this homeostasis leads to autoimmunity, which is often associated with malfunctioning T cell signaling. Several medications are available to suppress over-reactive T lymphocytes, but many of the currently marketed drugs produce severe and life-threatening side-effects. Ribosoma...
متن کاملPlant antimicrobial peptides
Pathogens, like fungi, nematodes, virus and bacterial are responsible for several human and plant diseases. According FAO, around 20 to 40 percent of crops yields are lost, per year, due plant diseases and pest. Besides this, only USA spend 30 billion dollars a year with hospital infections, and the numbers are increasing as the infection are becoming more and more resistant to conventional ant...

متن کاملAntimicrobial peptides and plant disease control.
Several diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and fungi affect plant crops, resulting in losses and decreasing the quality and safety of agricultural products. Plant disease control relies mainly on chemical pesticides that are currently subject to strong restrictions and regulatory requirements. Antimicrobial peptides are interesting compounds in plant health because there is a need for new pro...
