Pinus sylvestris Defensin 1

PsDef1 is present in Pinus sylvestris seeds, vegetative and generative organs. The defensin encodes a protein of 83 amino acids in length, whose first 33 amino acids correspond to the ‘N-terminal signal peptide, it also has eight highly conserved cysteines residues that are predicted to form four disulfide bonds C3–C49, C14–C34, C20–C43, and C24–C451, which stabilize its structure making it resistant to environmental changes2. Its conformation consists in a cysteine-stabilized αβ-motif (CSαβ) with a prominent α-helix and a triple-stranded antiparallel β-sheet that is stabilized by the 4 disulfide bonds1.


Endogenous PsDef1 causes morphological changes in fungi mycelium when interacting with the sphingolipid membrane on fungal cell, disrupting the membrane integrity. Antifungal activity towards phytopathogenic fungi Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, and Heterobasidion annosum has been demonstrated; as well as its antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive (Bacillus pumilus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Pectobacterium carotovorum, Pseudomonas fluorescens)1.


The part is designed to code for a fusion protein of PsDef1 with a polyhistidine tag (6x His-Tag) at its N-terminus for purification by immobilized metal affinity chromatography.
