Alyteserin-1c (GLKEIFKAGLGSLVKGIAAHVAS.NH(2)), first isolated from skin secretions of the midwife toad Alytes obstetricans, shows selective growth-inhibitory activity against Gram-negative bacteria. The structures of alyteserin-1c and its more potent and less haemolytic analogue [E4K]alyteserin-1c were investigated in various solution and membrane mimicking environments by proton NMR spectroscopy and molecular modelling. In aqueous solution, the peptide displays a lack of secondary structure but, in a 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE-d(3))-H(2)O solvent mixture, the structure is characterised by an extended alpha helix between residues Leu(2) and Val(21). Solution structural studies in the membrane mimicking environments, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), dodecylphosphocholine (DPC), and 1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DHPC) micelles, indicate that these peptides display an alpha helical structure between residues Lys(3) and Val(21). Positional studies of the peptides in SDS, DPC and DHPC media show that the N-terminal and central residues lie inside the micelle while C-terminal residues beyond Ala(19) do not interact with the micelles. | Alyteserin-1c (GLKEIFKAGLGSLVKGIAAHVAS.NH(2)), first isolated from skin secretions of the midwife toad Alytes obstetricans, shows selective growth-inhibitory activity against Gram-negative bacteria.
