Protegrin-1 coding region under the influence of a pBad-strong promotor.  Protegrin-1 is an '18-residue beta-sheet peptide isolated from porcine leukocytes with antimicrobial activity against a broad range of microorganisms.' (Steinberg et al 1997)  It has its effect by pore membrane disruption (Lam et al 2006) and possibly also by effects such as activation of membrane-damaging proteases (Bierbaum 1985) and has anti-microbial activity against E Coli (Aumelas 2004).

The presence of the pBad promoter allows the expression of Protegrin-1 to be controlled by differing concentrations of arbinose.
