| + | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/DEFPL_PSENR DEFPL_PSENR] Antimicrobial peptide that potently acts against several species of Gram-positive bacteria (PubMed:16222292, PubMed:19472324). It selectively inhibits peptidoglycan biosynthesis through complex formation with the cell wall precursor lipid II (1:1 molar ratio) thus inhibiting cell wall synthesis (PubMed:20508130). It does not disrupt cell membranes (PubMed:20508130). Is especially active against numerous clinical isolates of S.pneumoniae, including all 90 different serotypes and isolates resistant to clinically used antibiotics (PubMed:16222292). In vitro, shows considerable selectivity for bacteria over mammalian cells (PubMed:16222292). The peptide synthesized in D-amino acids does not show antibacterial activity (PubMed:19472324). In vitro, acts on voltage-gated potassium channels by moderately inhibiting mammalian Kv1.3/KCNA3 (IC(50)=2.8 uM), and moderately inhibiting others potassium channels (PubMed:25568977).<ref>PMID:16222292</ref> <ref>PMID:25568977</ref> | ||

| + | Self-assembly and fibril formation play important roles in protein behaviour. Amyloid fibril formation is well-studied due to its role in neurodegenerative diseases and characterized by refolding of the protein into predominantly beta-sheet form. However, much less is known about the assembly of proteins into other types of supramolecular structures. Using cryo-electron microscopy at a resolution of 1.97 A, we show that a triple-mutant of the anti-microbial peptide plectasin, PPI42, assembles into helical non-amyloid fibrils. The in vitro anti-microbial activity was determined and shown to be enhanced compared to the wildtype. Plectasin contains a cysteine-stabilised alpha-helix-beta-sheet structure, which remains intact upon fibril formation. Two protofilaments form a right-handed protein fibril. The fibril formation is reversible and follows sigmoidal kinetics with a pH- and concentration dependent equilibrium between soluble monomer and protein fibril. This high-resolution structure reveals that alpha/beta proteins can natively assemble into fibrils. | ||
