Summary
Description
Has antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Probably acts by disturbing membrane functions with its amphipathic structure.
Antimicrobial peptide. Active against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including methicillin-resistant S.aureus ATCC 43 300, S.aureus BAA-39, pathogenic strains of L.monocytogenes, K.pneumoniae, E.coli O157:H7, S.typhimurium and multidrug-resistant S.typhimurium DT104 with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1.4 uM for all except for S.aureus BAA-39 (PubMed:18265434). Also active against Serratia marcescens (PubMed:14728663). Probably acts by disturbing membrane functions with its amphipathic alpha-helical structure (PubMed:18265434). May protect a developing embryo from bacterial infection (Probable).
Similarity
Belongs to the moricin family.
