Journal ArticleDOI

The antibacterial peptide pyrrhocoricin inhibits the ATPase actions of DnaK and prevents chaperone-assisted protein folding.

TL;DR: The data suggest that drosocin and pyrrhocoricin binding prevents the frequent opening and closing of the multihelical lid over the peptide-binding pocket of DnaK, permanently closes the cavity, and inhibits chaperone-assisted protein folding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction between Heat Shock Proteins and Antimicrobial Peptides

TL;DR: All three antibacterial peptides strongly interacted with two bacterial lipopolysaccharide preparations in solution, indicating that the initial step of the bacterial killing cascade proceeds through LPS-mediated cell entry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solution structures by 1H NMR of the novel cyclic trypsin inhibitor SFTI-1 from sunflower seeds and an acyclic permutant

TL;DR: The lack of a major conformational change upon binding suggests that the structure of SFTI-1 is rigid and already pre-organized for maximal binding due to minimization of entropic losses compared to a more flexible ligand, making it an ideal platform for the design of small peptidic pharmaceuticals or pesticides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of crucial residues for the antibacterial activity of the proline-rich peptide, pyrrhocoricin.

TL;DR: Findings highlighted pyrrhocoricin's suitability for combating intracellular pathogens and raised the possibility that the proline-rich antibacterial peptides can deliver drug leads into mammalian cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of novel antibacterial peptides that kill resistant isolates.

TL;DR: The designed dimers showed improved stability in mammalian sera compared to the native analog and a single dose of a dimeric pyrrhocoricin analog reduced the bacteria in the bronchoalveolar lavage when delivered intranasally.
