Background technology
Antibacterial peptide is extensively to have a kind of active polypeptide with anti-microbial effect in the organism, is the immunne response product of biological nonspecific defense system, has broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antiviral, antimycotic, parasiticide and biological activity such as antitumor.The antifungal mechanism of antibacterial peptide is different with microbiotic, it be through the physics osmosis in bacterial cell membrane, destroy phospholipid bilayer on the film, thereby make material outflow in the film, cause bacterial death, therefore, antibacterial peptide does not produce resistance.Antibacterial peptide itself is a kind of polypeptides matter, does not have the residual problem, so the antibacterial peptide optimal surrogate that is microbiotic has very wide market application prospect.At present, thousands of kinds of antibacterial peptides extract from various animal and plant bodies, but the antibacterial peptide that is used for medical field as the microbiotic substitute seldom.The reason that the restriction antibacterial peptide becomes antibiotic substitute has following two aspects: be that antibacterial peptide is for normal cell on the one hand; Also cause hemolytic action such as red corpuscle etc.; Just cell selective is low, and so, it is imperative to seek a kind of method that improves the antibacterial peptide cell selective.Cell selective is the different choice property effect of antibacterial peptide to different cells, just harmful microorganism is had and suppresses or lethal effect, and normal cell is not had toxic action.The therapeutic index of antibacterial peptide is to estimate the critical index of its cell selective.The therapeutic index of antibacterial peptide is big more, and the cell selective of antibacterial peptide is just high more, and it is big more to explain that this antibacterial peptide becomes the feasibility of microbiotic substitute.Second aspect that influences the antibacterial peptide application is the production cost problem.For the structure function research of antibacterial peptide, mainly the method through chemosynthesis obtains antibacterial peptide at present, and amino acid number is many more, and synthetic cost is high more, so the antibiotic little peptide that cell selective is high becomes the focus of people's research.Antibacterial peptide of a great variety, therefore complex structure is difficult to find unified model to represent all antibacterial peptides to study.In addition, the engineered method of people's use is blindly expressed antibacterial peptide, and the 26S Proteasome Structure and Function and the in vitro tests of antibacterial peptide is not comprehensively groped, and it is not high to cause expressing the most activity of the antibacterial peptide that obtains, and perhaps has hemolytic activity and cytotoxicity.So far, there have been a variety of methods to study the relation between the 26S Proteasome Structure and Function of antibacterial peptide.Such as method screening antibacterial peptide, or utilize Method for minimization only to be contained the methods such as brand-new antibacterial peptide of several seed amino acids through structure antibacterial peptide storehouse.One section amino-acid residue fragment of the natural antibacterial peptide that the present invention exists through intercepting naturally, and its C-terminal characteristic three residue amino acid complexes circulation connected once, design obtains brand-new antibacterial peptide.This three residues amino-acid residue comprises Arg (l-arginine; R), Trp (tryptophane; W), Leu (leucine; L).Arg is a kind of basic aminoacids, the positive charge that provides can with the negative charge generation electrostatic attraction effect of bacterium surface, and this sucking action is stronger than other two kinds of basic aminoacidss (Lys and His).Trp and Leu all are hydrophobic amino acids, and the phosphatide generation hydrophobicity effect that can show with bacterium destroys the immobilized artificial membrane of bacterium, thereby produce BA.Discover that the antibacterial potentiality that are rich in Trp and Leu antibacterial peptide are better than other hydrophobic amino acids.The little peptide of also not seeing the C-terminal fragment intercepting that utilizes natural antibacterial peptide both at home and abroad connects report and the research that the antibacterial peptide structure-function relationship is studied in multiple (RWL) constitutional features unit.
