Molecular characterization of a crustin-like, putative antimicrobial peptide, Fi-crustin, from the Indian white shrimp, Fenneropenaeus indicus.
Antimicrobial peptides are important innate immune defense, especially in those animals which lack adaptive immunity [1e8]. Due to their small size, amphipathic structure and cationic character they can rapidly diffuse to the point of infection [9], a mechanism that presumably makes it easier to circumvent microbial resistance against the peptides [10]. Besides providing an immediate and broad-...
متن کاملCharacterization of the extracellular haemoglobins of Artemia salina.
The following factors were measured for extracellular haemoglobins of Artemia salina: a minimal molecular weight of globin chain per haem group (based on the iron and haem contents), the absorption coefficients, the absorption spectra of various derivatives and the amino acid compositions. These were compared with those of the haemoglobins of other invertebrates. Three Artemia haemoglobins (I, ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of two acidic proteins of 60s ribosomes from Artemia salina cysts.
60S ribosomes from encysted gastrulae of the brine shrimp Artemia salina contain two acidic proteins, which are homologous to the Escherichia coli proteins L7 and L12. The proteins were purified and characterized with respect to molecular weight, amino-acid composition, peptide maps, and their functional requirement in the elongation factor dependent binding of aminoacyl transfer RNA to the rib...
متن کاملScreening, Expression, Purification and Functional Characterization of Novel Antimicrobial Peptide Genes from Hermetia illucens (L.)
Antimicrobial peptides from a wide spectrum of insects possess potent microbicidal properties against microbial-related diseases. In this study, seven new gene fragments of three types of antimicrobial peptides were obtained from Hermetia illucens (L), and were named cecropinZ1, sarcotoxin1, sarcotoxin (2a), sarcotoxin (2b), sarcotoxin3, stomoxynZH1, and stomoxynZH1(a). Among these genes, a 189...
متن کاملA single-stranded nucleic acid-binding protein from Artemia salina. I. Purification and characterization.
A protein that binds tightly to single-stranded but not to double-strained nucleic acids has been purified to homogeneity from a high salt wash of ribosomes from cryptobiotic Artemia saline gastrulae. The protein, designated HD40 to indicate a helix-destabilizing protein with a molecular weight of 40,000, is present in the high-salt ribosomal wash at a level of about 2 molecules per 80 S riboso...
