摘要
Temporins是从蛙属中得到的一类羧基端酰胺化的疏水性抗菌肽,具有抗细菌、霉菌、酵母菌、原虫及病毒活性.为了研究牛蛙皮肤抗菌肽的多样性及其结构特点,根据GenBank数据库中蛙属抗菌肽基因信号肽序列设计简并引物,从牛蛙皮肤cDNA文库中克隆到两个新的temporins家族抗菌肽,命名为temporin-La(LLRHVVKILEKYLamide)和temporin-Lb(LFRHVVKIFEKYLamide).合成的temporin-La和temporin-Lb肽具有很强的抗菌活性,尤其是对革兰氏阳性细菌.溶血性测定结果表明,temporin-La浓度高至250mg/L时对兔红细胞仍无溶血活性,而temporin-Lb具有较弱的溶血活性(半数致死浓度LC50≈230μmol/L).通过透射电镜观察temporin-La和temporin-Lb处理过的金黄色葡萄球菌的细胞结构,发现它们都能直接地杀死细菌,但作用机制不一样.
Temporins are a kind of small, hydrophobic and C-terminus amidated antimicrobial peptides from Rana species. They are effective against bacteria, fungi, yeast, protozoa and viruses. Two novel temporins named as temporin-La（LLRHVVKILEKYLamide） and temporin-Lb（LFRHVVKIFEKYLamide） were cloned from Lithobates catesbeianus. Synthetic peptides of temporin-La and temporin-Lb showed strong antimicrobial activities against bacteria tested, especially Gram-positive bacteria. Besides, temporin-La showed no haemolytic activity to rabbit erythrocytes at the concentration of 250 mg/L while temporin-Lb showed weak haemolytic activity（LC50 230 μmol/L）. Transmission electron microscopy showed that temporin-La and temporin-Lb induced different effects on bacterial structure of Stap hylococc us aure us.
