Multi-function Plant Defensin, Antimicrobial and Heavy Metal Adsorbent Peptide
Background: Defensin peptide isolated from plants are often heterogeneous in length, sequence and structure, but they are mostly small, cationic and amphipathic. Plant defensins exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi and etc. Plant defensins also play an important role in innate immunity, such as he...
متن کاملShort peptide modules for enhancing intestinal barrier function.
The intestinal epithelial barrier is indispensable to our immune system. Defects in this barrier function have been observed in intestinal disorders such as inflammatory bowel diseases, food allergies, and celiac diseases. Therefore, the modulation of the barrier function is currently viewed as a potentially positive pharmacological outcome. This review describes a unique peptide, Asn-Pro-Trp- ...
متن کاملPeptide mimotopes selected from a random peptide library for diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus infection.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous, worldwide infectious agent that causes infectious mononucleosis, affecting >90% of the world's population. Currently, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, mostly with purified preparations of EBV cell extracts to capture immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in patients' serum, is used for primary diagnosis. Our objective was to determine whether a small set ...
متن کاملPeptide ligands for a sugar-binding protein isolated from a random peptide library.
Peptide ligands for the carbohydrate-binding protein concanavalin A (Con A) have been identified by screening a large, diverse peptide library expressed on the surface of filamentous phage. A dodecapeptide containing the consensus sequence Tyr-Pro-Tyr was found to bind Con A with an affinity (dissociation constant, Kd) of 46 microM, comparable to that of a known carbohydrate ligand, methyl alph...
متن کاملIgY‐binding peptide screened from a random peptide library as a ligand for IgY purification
Chicken egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) is a functional substitute for mammalian IgG for antigen detection. Traditional IgY purification methods involve multi-step procedures resulting in low purity and recovery of IgY. In this study, we developed a simple IgY purification system using IgY-specific peptides identified by T7 phage display technology. From disulfide-constrained random peptide libra...
