タイトル Antimicrobial activity and secondary structure of a novel peptide derived from ovalbumin.
ジャーナル J Pept Sci
Abstract A novel antimicrobial peptide derived from ovalbumin has been discovered. First, the peptide fragment RKIKVYLPRMK (TK9.1) was identified based on computerized predictions of the secondary structure of peptides in a protein data bank. Using HeliQuest, the sequence was developed into RKIKRYLRRMI (TK9.1.3), which was synthesized using Fmoc-solid phase peptide synthesis, and found to have strongly antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi but not cytotoxic to HeLa cells and hemolysis in mouse red blood cells. Although ovalbumin itself does not have an antibacterial activity, our results suggest that it may supply the organisms that consume it with antimicrobial peptides, in support of their immunodefence.
