Biological activities of synthetic grammistins and analogous peptides   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Grammistins, peptide toxins isolated from the skin secretions of two species of soapfishes Grammistes sexlineatus and Pogonoperca punctata, are new members of the family of linear membrane-lytic antibacterial peptides characterized by the abundance of amphiphilic α-helices. As the first step toward future use of grammistins to examine the mode of membrane lysis and design new antibiotics, C-terminally free and amidated forms were chemically synthesized for each of five grammistins (Gs 1, Gs 2, Pp 1, Pp 2b and Pp 3), and evaluated for hemolytic and antibacterial activities. No difference in biological activities was observed between C-terminally free and amidated forms of Gs 1, while the C-terminally amidated forms of the other grammistins exhibited much higher activities than the C-terminally free forms. Comparison with the biological activities of natural grammistins, together with our preliminary cloning experiments, showed that natural grammistins, except for Gs 1, are C-terminally amidated. As for Pp 1, six analogous peptides were further synthesized. Determination of their biological activities revealed that the amphiphilic α-helical structure and positive charge are important for the hemolytic and antibacterial activities, respectively, of Pp 1.  相似文献

SUMMARY: Six peptides (grammistins Pp 1, 2a, 2b, 3, 4a and 4b) with both hemolytic and ichthyotoxic activities were isolated from the skin secretion of the soapfish Pogonoperca punctata by gel filtration and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. They were completely sequenced and found to be simple peptides differing from the previous suggestion that they are peculiar peptides with tertiary amine or quaternary ammonium base moieties. Grammistins Pp 1, 2a and 2b were composed of 13 residues, Pp 3 of 25 residues and Pp 4a and 4b of 24 residues. While grammistins Pp 4a and 4b were identical and highly homologous with grammistin Gs 2 previously isolated from another soapfish Grammistes sexlineatus , the other grammistins did not have homologies with any proteinic or peptidic toxins known to date. Judging from circular dichroism data, helical wheel projections and hydrophobic moment plots, all the isolated grammistins are surface-seeking peptides with an abundance in amphiphilic α-helicity, similar to pardaxins from the skin secretion of two species of soles and melittin from bee venom as well as the G. sexlineatus grammistins.  相似文献

Antibacterial chemicals in the mucus of fish such as lysozyme, lectins, peptides and proteases provide an efficient first line of defence against pathogens. This study shows that there are at least three antibacterial proteins in plaice skin mucus in addition to lysozyme. One of these proteins is responsible for approximately 74% of the antibacterial activity and is a 630 kDa protease complex designated KilC (bacterial killing metalloprotease C). Purified KilC kills the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa efficiently. The protease activity of KilC is dependent upon the divalent cation Mg(2+) and shows pH dual optima of 5.0 and 8.0. The enzyme has a temperature optimum of 25 degrees C and is made up of at least five different sized peptides. Studies with protease inhibitors show that the catalytic site of KilC may be cysteine- or serine protease-like. KilC may kill bacterial cells by acting directly upon the bacteria or by producing low molecular weight bioactive compounds such as peptides.  相似文献

Abstract. The pharmacokinetic and metabolic disposition of piromidic acid (PA) was studied in goldfish orally administered a single dose of 40 mg/kg of PA or 14C-PA with the following results. PA was rapidly absorbed from the alimentary tract and became widely distributed to give maximal organ and tissue levels mostly after 1 h post dosing. Organ and tissue levels of PA as measured by the radioactivity were 1.4–2.2 times as high as those obtained by the bioassay, though their distribution patterns were similar. PA was partly biotransformed to unconjugated antibacterial metabolites, i.e., α -OHPA and β -OHPA and partly to more hydrophilic glucuronides which were excreted into bile. Bioactive metabolites along with PA disappeared almost entirely from the fish within 48 h post dosing. The antibacterial activity of α -OHPA and β -OHPA against major pathogenic bacteria isolated from fish showed two to four-fold greater activity as compared with PA. This pharmacokinetic and metabolic disposition, together with the antibacterial activity of PA and its active metabolites, suggest a possible practical application of PA against bacterial fish diseases.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

The Maillard reaction is an effective method for enhancing the activity of bioactive peptides. In this study, squid by-product hydrolytic peptides (SPHPs) were obtained. The effects of the Maillard reaction on the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the SPHPs were explored. The results showed most of the peptides in the < 500 Da fraction of SPHPs reacted with D-arabinose to form the 500–1000 Da fraction (89.60%). The Maillard reaction products (MRPs) possessed more potent antioxidant activities, including free radical scavenging activity, ferrous chelating capacity, and reducing power, than the SPHPs. Although both the SPHPs and MRPs had broad-spectrum antibiotic activities and could inhibit the growth of both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, the antibacterial activities of the MRPs were higher than those of the SPHPs. Furthermore, the efficacy of the MRPs lasted significantly longer than that of ampicillin and could last for more than 30 days. In addition, both the SPHPs and MRPs had good functional properties and many potential applications. The results suggested that the Maillard reaction has potential to be used to improve the activities and physicochemical properties of bioactive peptides.  相似文献

In this study, the antibacterial and hemolytic effects of the gonadal tissue, test, spines and Aristotle’s lantern of the sea urchin (Echinometra mathaei) were investigated. The aerobic Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus were selected because of their importance in oral diseases. The samples of sea urchin were collected from an intertidal zone in the Persian Gulf and then dissected. Finally, the crude extracts of the gonadal tissue, test, spines and Aristotle’s lantern of the samples were separately prepared by the solvents, including phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), 96 % ethanol (Et) and 80 % acetonitrile (ACN). The antibacterial activities of the extracts were evaluated using the well diffusion method in two concentrations of 1500 and 600 µg well?1. The antibacterial effects against streptococcal species were observed in the organic extracts (Et and ACN) of the gonads and test while the extracts of spines and Aristotle’s lantern showed no antibacterial activity. The hemolytic activity of the PBS, 96 % Et, and 80 % ACN extracts from the sea urchin were evaluated using horse red blood cells. Hemolytic activity was observed only in the 80 % Et and ACN extracts of the gonad and test. In conclusion, the organic extracts of gonadal tissue showed the most inhibitory activity on the growth of S. mutans and S. sobrinus.  相似文献

一种新型抗菌肽APNT-6的溶血性和急性毒性评价   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
研究了一种以抗菌脂肽类物质surfactin、iturin和fengycin为主要成分的新型抗菌肽APNT-6的体外溶血和小鼠口服急性毒性,为食品应用安全性提供初步评估。将抗菌肽作100倍稀释置于兔血琼脂平板上的牛津杯中观察溶血情况;结果显示,经100倍稀释的抗菌肽在体外对血细胞有较强的溶血毒性。将60只小鼠按雌雄各半随机分成6组,分别以8、40、200、1000、5000mg每千克体重剂量的抗菌肽对小鼠进行一次性灌胃,7d内观察小鼠毒性体征并测定相关指标。结果表明,当小鼠被给予该抗菌肽5000mg/kg剂量时,观察7d无任何毒性反应,说明高剂量的抗菌肽经口服在小鼠体内不能达到有效溶血浓度,其口服半数致死剂量(LD50)大于5000mg/kg小鼠体质量,急性毒性评级属实际无毒级。根据以上结果可知,新型抗菌肽APNT-6在体外有溶血毒性但经口服对小鼠没有急性毒性作用。  相似文献

Nonspecific responses of Japanese eels to environmental stress were monitored by assaying various lytic activities in eel epidermal extract. In fish maintained at 10 and 30 °C for up to 10 days, epidermal proteolytic activities due to serine protease and aminopeptidase and hemolytic activity varied within a 2-fold value range. Other proteolytic activities, due to cathepsins B and L, in the fish at 30 °C increased for up to 8 days and were 3.4 and 2.9-fold over those in fish maintained at 10 °C, respectively. This was accompanied by a 3.0-fold increase in bacteriolytic activity. Other forms of stress were exerted on the fishes by immersing them in a suspension of Flavobacterium columnare or giving them intraperitoneal injections of Edwardsiella tarda over 72 h. Although serine protease and aminopeptidase activities and hemolytic activity in the fishes exposed to F. columnare changed marginally, and were similar to those in the control fish, cathepsins B and L activities in the infected fishes increased more than 1.5-fold over their initial values over a 48 h period, along with a 4.5-fold increase in bacteriolytic activity. No marked change was detected in any of the lytic activities of the fishes exposed to E. tarda. These findings indicate that epidermal cathepsins B and L probably participate in bacteriolysis associated with Japanese eel skin and that their activities are elicited by environmental stimuli and may be an important nonspecific response of eels.

皮肤黏液是鱼类免疫防御的第一道防线。大弹涂鱼皮肤黏液对其免疫防御、渗透压维持以及适应水陆生活等方面具有重要意义。为深入了解大弹涂鱼皮肤黏液的蛋白质分子组成,对其皮肤黏液开展了抑菌活性分析和蛋白质组学分析。通过电刺激法收集大弹涂鱼皮肤黏液,采用打孔法比较了皮肤黏液和血清的抑菌活性差异;进一步利用鳗弧菌对大弹涂鱼进行诱导,采用生长曲线抑制法分析和比较了诱导前后皮肤黏液的抑菌活性差异。利用Shotgun质谱技术,结合大弹涂鱼皮肤转录组数据库,对大弹涂鱼皮肤黏液开展了蛋白质组学分析;进一步利用String软件对所鉴定的蛋白质开展了蛋白质相互作用预测。大弹涂鱼皮肤黏液具有广谱抑菌活性,鳗弧菌诱导后的大弹涂鱼皮肤黏液与诱导前相比,对部分革兰氏阴性菌的抑菌活性明显上升,但对其他菌株的抑菌活性差异不明显。从大弹涂鱼皮肤黏液中共鉴定各类蛋白质分子97种,基本分子组成与其他硬骨鱼类皮肤黏液蛋白相似,但也有少数蛋白如泛素蛋白、胸腺素蛋白等未在其他鱼类皮肤黏液中报道。此外,其他鱼类中所鉴定到的部分蛋白如热休克蛋白、抗菌肽等在大弹涂鱼皮肤黏液中未能鉴定到。大弹涂鱼皮肤黏液中已鉴定的蛋白多数具有与免疫功能相关的结构域,且存在一个以肌动蛋白为核心的相互作用网络。大弹涂鱼皮肤黏液具有明显的广谱抑菌活性,其蛋白质组成与其他鱼类皮肤黏液具有一定的相似性。本研究为深入了解大弹涂鱼皮肤黏液的分子多样性及功能机制奠定了基础。  相似文献

This study reports the in vitro activity of six antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) produced by aquatic animals (most marine invertebrates): tachyplesin (Tach), magainin (Mag), clavanin (Clav), penaeidin (Pen), mytilin (Myt) and antilipopolysaccharide factor (ALF) against marine vibrios, filamentous fungi and yeast. Their stability under salinity conditions and seawater was also examined. The results showed that Mag, Myt and especially Tach and ALF (minimum inhibitory concentration<1.5 μM) had a potent activity against all tested vibrio species, whereas Clav and Pen were ineffective (up to 50 μM). With respect to the antifungal activity, each AMP had a different potency according to the fungal species. In general terms, Tach was the most potent peptide, followed by Mag. Interestingly, Tach, Myt and ALF had a significant effect on the filamentous fungus Fusarium solani that could be pathogenic to marine organisms. All AMPs had a tendency to decrease or lose their activity at high salinity (>225 mM NaCl). Tach and Myt were the most stable peptides, maintaining significant activity under seawater salinity (450 mM). Curiously, all peptides lost their effect under seawater conditions. The results suggest that Tach, ALF and Myt are the most promising candidates for potential therapeutic use in farmed-marine species, because all have a significant and broad antimicrobial activity maintained at high salinity.  相似文献

Effects of cecropin peptides on bacteria pathogenic to fish   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The antibacterial effects of synthetic cecropin B and cecropin P1 were tested against the fish-pathogenic bacteria Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio salmonicida, Aeromonas salmonicida , Edwardsiella ictaluri and Yersinia ruckeri. Both cecropins were active against all bacteria tested, but the effect was strongly influenced by the growth media used. In brain heart infusion medium, the minimum inhibitory concentrations of cecropin B ranged from 0.3 to 1.3 μ m and from 0.3 to 1.0 μ m for cecropin P1, except for E. ictaluri , which was noticeably less sensitive to cecropin P1 (61 μ m ). The present authors have compared the bactericidal activity of these two peptides, showing that the killing rate for the selected bacteria was higher for cecropin B than for cecropin P1 . V. anguillarum was the most sensitive to the cecropins, and in the present study, no colony forming units were detected after 4 and 8 min of treatment with cecropin B and P1, respectively. Electron microscopy was performed to document the effect of cecropin on the bacterial surface.  相似文献

This study was conducted to monitor feeding activity of gilthead sea bream (Sa) and red porgy (Pp) and to investigate the hereditary effects on feeding in their hybrids (female Sa×male Pp, female Pp×male Sa), obtained after artificial crosses. All fish groups were held in 500-l tanks under ambient temperature (15–25°C) and light conditions (daylength from 9 h 30 min to 14 h 48 min). Fish (initial body weight 100–165 g) were fed by means of self-feeders, which were connected to a computer, recording fish feeding activity for a year. Results showed that there was a 24-h periodicity in all fish types over the experiment. In their daily feeding patterns, both parental species were diurnal: red porgies had a stable daily pattern over the experiment, while gilthead sea bream shifted their activity from a general daylight fluctuation in warm periods to an afternoon peak in cold periods. The Sa×Pp hybrids showed intermediate feeding patterns compared to their parents in warm periods and a pattern that was similar to the red porgy in cold periods, while the Pp×Sa hybrids had rather unchangeable daily feeding patterns, which were not related to the parental ones. The proportion of night feed demands increased in cold periods independent of fish group. The relationship between temperature and feed intake was species-dependent. Finally, this study indicated that feeding expression in hybrids was related to the combination of the parental genome, supporting our hypothesis for a hereditary influence on feeding activity in fish.  相似文献
