PelB-(CBD)2-DrsB1: A dermaseptin antimicrobial peptide from Phyllomedusa bicolor
Among a wide range of AMPs, polycationic dermaseptin peptides are produced by the skin glands of the frog Phyllomedusa bicolor[1]. It supplies both antibacterial and antifungal protection to a broad range of plant pathogens but shows no toxic effects on plant and mammalian cells [1]. This 3.2 kDa peptide contains a tandem repeat of a chitin binding domain (CBD) from Fulvia fulvaas an improvement of dermaseptin-b1 gene (AKA MsrA2)(BBa_K2577001) which binds to chitin fungal cell wall, thereby increasing the lytic activity of the catalytic domain. The peptide is fused with a PelB sequence (BBa_J32015) to send the protein to periplasmic space for an easier purification. The sequence also contains a 6xHis tag for purification with IMAC.
