Detailed Information About Peptide AP00008

     
 

APD ID:

AP00008

 
 

Name:

Bactenecin (Cyclic dodecapeptide, cow cathelicidin, animals, BBMm; JJsn)

 
 

Source:

Bovine neutrophils

 
 

Sequence:

RLCRIVVIRVCR

 
 

Length:

12

 
 

Structure:

Bridge

 
 

Additional info:

A S-S bond led to a CYCLIC DODECAPEPTIDE, which is more active against gram- bacteria. Only linearized versions of the peptides showed activtiy against Gram+ bacteria such as S. epidermidis and E. facaelis. The linearized or reduced forms appeared to be more effective in dissipating the membrane potential (Wu M and Hancock,RE 1999 JBC 274: 29-35). This peptide displayed synergistic effects with indolicidin (entry 150) against E. coli (Yan H & Hancock REW 2001 Antimicrob Agents Chemother 45: 1558-60).
