摘要: Bombyx mori cecropin A (Bmcecropin A) has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-filamentous fungal and tumour cell inhibition activities and is considered a potential succedaneum for antibiotics. We clarified the antibacterial mechanism and structure-activity relationships and then directed the structure-activity optimization of Bmcecropin A. Firstly, we found Bmcecropin A shows a strong binding force and permeability to cell membranes like a detergent; Bmcecropin A could competitively bind to the cell membrane with the cell membrane-specific dye DiI, then damaged the membrane for the access of DiI into the cytoplasm and leading to the leakage of electrolyte and proteins. Secondly, we found Bmcopropin A could also bind to and degrade DNA; furthermore, DNA library polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results indicated that Bmcecropin A inhibited DNA replication by non-specific binding. In addition, we have identified C-terminus amidation and serine-lysine- glycine (SLG) amino acids of Bmcecropin A played critical roles in the membrane damage and DNA degradation. Based on the above results, we designed a mutant of Bmcecropin A (E-9 to H, D-17 to K, K-33 to A), which showed higher antibacterial activity, thermostability and pH stability than ampicillin but no haemolytic activity. Finally, we speculated that Bmcecropin A damaged the cell membrane through a carpet model and drew the schematic diagram of its antibacterial mechanism, based on the antibacterial mechanism and the three-dimensional configuration. These findings yield insights into the mechanism of antimicrobial peptide-pathogen interaction and beneficial for the development of new antibiotics.
