Signiferin is a kind of antimicrobial peptide (AMPs) that has extensive abilities to kill Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In order to have more efficient to get Signiferin, we treated signal peptide on the upstream of N-terminal to facilitate the peptide production. To make sure the secretion system is work we had modified the amino acid sequence by attached an Ala at the N-terminal of Signiferin and change originally sequence into E.coli codon usage.
Epinecidin-1 is a kind of antimicrobial peptide (AMPs) comes from the skin mucus of Epinephelus coioides. It has extensive abilities to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. Moreover Epinecidin-1 has ability to help wound healing and has been proven by animal studies.
This signal peptide is comes from the signal of chitinase C that extracted by S.lividans. It had been proved that can worked in E.coli and successfully secret target protein to LB culture medium. At the secretion system of Ecoli peptidase will identify the cleavage site Ala-Gln-Ala and cut at the double Ala at the signal and mature peptide linkage site. Finally, secreting out mature peptide into the culture medium.
Epinecidin-1 is a kind of antimicrobial peptide (AMPs) that has extensive abilities to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. Moreover Epinecidin-1 has ability to help wound healing. In order to have more efficient to get Epinecidin-1, we treated signal peptide on the upstream N-terminal of Epinecidin-1 to facilitate the peptide production. To make sure the secretion system is work we had modified Epinecidin-1 amino acid sequence by attached an Ala at the N-terminal of it.
Signiferin is a kind of antimicrobial peptide (AMPs) that has extensive abilities to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. It plays a role in defense mechanism for Crinia signifera to against microbes. Signiferin has demonstrated effectiveness in killing Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and has been proven by the TU-Delft 2013 iGEM team.
