Antimicrobial activity of myotoxic phospholipases A2 from crotalid snake venoms and synthetic peptide variants derived from their C-terminal region
(Elsevier, 2005)
A short peptide derived from the C-terminal region of Bothrops asper myotoxin II, a Lys49 phospholipase A2 (PLA2), was previously found to reproduce the bactericidal activity of its parent molecule. In this study, a panel ...
Bactericidal and Antiendotoxic Properties of Short Cationic Peptides Derived from a Snake Venom Lys49 Phospholipase A2
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-04)
The activities of short synthetic, nonhemolytic peptides derived from the C-terminal region of myotoxin 11, a catalytically inactive phospholipase A(2) homologue present in the venom of the snake Bothrops asper, have been ...
Bactericidal activity of Lys49 and Asp49 myotoxic phospholipases A2 from Bothrops asper snake venom Synthetic Lys49 myotoxin II-(115−129)-peptide identifies its bactericidal region
(FEBS, 1998)
Mammalian group-II phospholipases A2 (PLA2) of inflammatory fluids display bactericidal properties, which are dependent on their enzymatic activity. This study shows that myotoxins II (Lys49) and III (Asp49), two group-II ...
Brucella evades macrophage killing via VirB-dependent sustained interactions with the endoplasmic reticulum
(The Rockefeller University Press, 2003-01-18)
The intracellular pathogen Brucella is the causative agent of brucellosis, a worldwide zoonosis
that affects mammals, including humans. Essential to Brucella virulence is its ability to survive and
replicate inside host ...
Brucella-Salmonella lipopolysaccharide chimeras are less permeable to hydrophobic probes and more sensitive to cationic peptides and EDTA than are their native Brucella sp. counterparts
(American Society for Microbiology, 1996-08-12)
A rough (R) Brucella abortus 45/20 mutant was more sensitive to the bactericidal activity of polymyxin B and lactoferricin B than was its smooth (S) counterpart but considerably more resistant than Salmonella montevideo. ...
