RL-37, an Alpha-Helical Antimicrobial Peptide of the Rhesus Monkey

Zhao, Chengquan, Nguyen, Tung, Boo, Lee Ming, Hong, Teresa, Espiritu, Cesar, Orlov, Dmitri, ...

Rhesus monkey bone marrow expresses a cathelicidin whose C-terminal domain comprises a 37-residue alpha-helical peptide (RL-37) that resembles human LL-37. Like its human counterpart, RL-37 rapidly...

Retrocyclin: A primate peptide that protects cells from infection by T- and M-tropic strains of HIV-1

Cole, Alexander M., Hong, Teresa, Boo, Lee Ming, Nguyen, Tung, Zhao, Chengquan, Bristol, Greg, ...

Human bone marrow expresses a pseudogene that encodes an antimicrobial peptide homologous to rhesus monkey circular minidefensins (θ-defensins). We prepared the putative ancestral human peptide by...

Activity of Novispirin G10 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa In Vitro and in Infected Burns

Steinstraesser, Lars, Tack, Brian F., Waring, Alan J., Hong, Teresa, Boo, Lee M., Fan, Ming-Hui, ...

The emergence of multidrug-resistant microbes has serious implications for managing infection and sepsis and has stimulated efforts to develop alternative treatments, such as antimicrobial peptides....

θ Defensins Protect Cells from Infection by Herpes Simplex Virus by Inhibiting Viral Adhesion and Entry

Yasin, Bushra, Wang, Wei, Pang, Mabel, Cheshenko, Natalia, Hong, Teresa, Waring, Alan J., ...

We tested the ability of 20 synthetic θ defensins to protect cells from infection by type 1 and type 2 herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and -2, respectively). The peptides included rhesus θ defensins...

Solid-State NMR Investigation of the Depth of Insertion of Protegrin-1 in Lipid Bilayers Using Paramagnetic Mn2+

Buffy, Jarrod J., Hong, Teresa, Yamaguchi, Satoru, Waring, Alan J., Lehrer, Robert I., Hong, Mei

The depth of insertion of an antimicrobial peptide, protegrin-1 (PG-1), in lipid bilayers is investigated using solid-state NMR. Paramagnetic Mn2+ ions bind to the surface of lipid bilayers and...
