摘要: Antibacterial peptide (AMP) is a crucial component of the innate immune system in most organism, play an important role in host defense processes. Many of these peptides have broad antimicrobial activity against Gramnegative, -positive bacteria and fungi. In the present study, a novel AMP named CpAMP was identified using transcriptome analysis in Chinese horseshoe crab. The preprotein of CpAMP consists of a signal peptide (21 aa) and a mature peptide (47 aa) enriched by cysteine. And the putative mature peptide CpAMP was 4.95 kDa with a theoretical isoelectric point (pI) of 8.73. The mature CpAMP showed alpha-helix and irregularly curled structure in the cys-stabilized region. CpAMP exhibited a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative, -positive bacteria and antibiotic-resistant strains. In addition, CpAMP can significantly increase the survival rate of zebrafish infected with bacteria. Due to its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and the sensitivity of drug-resistant strains, CpAMP could be used as a new type of drug for inhibition of pathogenic microorganisms or as an immune enhancer in animals.
