Journal ArticleDOI
The use of versatile plant antimicrobial peptides in agribusiness and human health.
Elizabete de Souza Cândido,Marlon H. Cardoso,Daniel Amaro Sousa,Juliane F.C. Viana,Nelson G. Oliveira-Júnior,Vívian de Jesus Miranda,Octavio L. Franco,Octavio L. Franco +7 more
TL;DR: This review will focus on the relevance of the structural-function relations of AMPs derived from plants and their proper use in applications for human health and agribusiness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shedding some light over the floral metabolism by arum lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica) spathe de novo transcriptome assembly.
Elizabete de Souza Cândido,Gabriel Fernandes,Sérgio Amorim de Alencar,Marlon H. Cardoso,Stella Maris de Freitas Lima,Vívian de Jesus Miranda,William F. Porto,Diego O. Nolasco,Nelson G. Oliveira-Júnior,Nelson G. Oliveira-Júnior,Aulus E. A. D. Barbosa,Robert Pogue,Taia Maria Berto Rezende,Simoni Campos Dias,Octavio L. Franco +14 more
TL;DR: Spathe predicted protein maps were drawn, and suggested that major plant efforts are expended in guaranteeing the maintenance of cell homeostasis, characterized by high investment in carbohydrate, amino acid and energy metabolism as well as in genetic information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial and proinflammatory effects of two vipericidins.
Nelson G. Oliveira-Júnior,Nelson G. Oliveira-Júnior,Mirna S. Freire,Mirna S. Freire,Jeeser Alves de Almeida,Taia Maria Berto Rezende,Taia Maria Berto Rezende,Octavio L. Franco,Octavio L. Franco,Octavio L. Franco +9 more
TL;DR: Overall, even presenting a proinflammatory characteristic, these peptides are still promising for future research and development of new potential antimicrobial molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anxiolytic-like effect of a novel peptide isolated from the venom of the social wasp Synoeca surinama
Flávia Maria Medeiros Gomes,Cássia Karolina Paniago,Daniel Oliveira Freire,Adolfo Carlos Barros de Souza,Marcos Robalinho Lima,Marcos Robalinho Lima,Nelson G. Oliveira-Júnior,Nelson G. Oliveira-Júnior,Octavio L. Franco,Octavio L. Franco,Márcia Renata Mortari +10 more
TL;DR: This study is the first to show the pharmacological use of S. surinama venom in the treatment of anxiety and spent more time exploring the open arms of elevated plus maze, which indicates an anxiolytic-like profile for this peptide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial peptide production in response to gut microbiota imbalance
Marlon H. Cardoso,Beatriz T. Meneguetti,Nelson G. Oliveira-Júnior,Maria Lígia Rodrigues Macedo,Octavio L. Franco +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a review focused on describing the importance of the host's AMPs in gut microbiota modulation and their role as anti-infective agents against pathogenic bacteria is presented.
