TI - Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Class of Plant Antimicrobial Peptides from Mirabilis jalapa L. Seeds N2 - We have isolated from seeds of Mirabilis jalapa L. two antimicrobial peptides, designated Mj-AMP1 and Mj-AMPS, respectively. These peptides are highly basic and consist of 37 and 36 residues for Mj-AMP1 and Mj-AMPB, respectively. Both peptides contain three disulfide bridges and differ from one another only by 4 amino acids. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of the reduced and unreduced peptides suggests that the peptides associate into dimers in their native form. The Mj-AMPs exhibit a broad spectrum of antifungal activity since they are active against all 13 tested plant pathogenic fungi.
