Abstract

The present invention is related to a high salt-resistance antibacterial peptide by increasing width of side chain of amino acids and/or increasing length of side chain of amino acids in the antibacterial peptide; and a method for increasing salt-resistance of antibacterial peptide by increasing width of side chain and/or increasing length of side chain in the antibacterial peptide.

Claims (9)

1. A high salt-resistance antibacterial peptide, wherein the high salt-resistance antibacterial peptide is modified P-113 peptide (SEQ ID NO:1), wherein the His4, His5, and/or His12 of P-113 peptide (SEQ ID NO:1) has been replaced/substituted with an aromatic amino acid,

wherein the aromatic amino acid is selected from the group of β-(benzothien-3-yl)alanine (Bal), β-(naphtha-1-yl)alanine (1-Nal), β-(naphtha-2-yl)alanine (2-Nal), β-diphenylalanine (Dip), β-(anthracen-9-yl)alanine (Ath), β-(4,4′-biphenyl)alanine (Bip), and β-(2,5,7-tri-tert-butyl-indol-3-yl)alanine (Tbt).

2. A high salt-resistance antibacterial peptide, wherein the high salt-resistance antibacterial peptide is a modified P-113 peptide (SEQ ID NO:1), wherein the His4, His5, and/or His12 of P-113 peptide (SEQ ID NO:1) has been replaced/substituted with an aromatic amino acid,

wherein the aromatic amino acid is selected from the group of β-(benzothien-3-yl)alanine (Bal), β-(naphtha-1-yl)alanine (1-Nal), β-(naphtha-2-yl)alanine (2-Nal), β-diphenylalanine (Dip), β-(anthracen-9-yl)alanine (Ath), β-(4,4′-biphenyl)alanine (Bip), and β-(2,5,7-tri-tert-butyl-indol-3-yl)alanine (Tbt).

3. A method for producing a high-salt resistance antibacterial peptide comprising: providing antibacterial peptide P-113 (SEQ ID NO:1); and replacing/substituting the His4, His5, and/or His12 of P-113 peptide (SEQ ID NO:1) with an aromatic amino acid to thereby produce a high-salt resistance antibacterial peptide,

wherein the aromatic amino acid is selected from the group of β-(benzothien-3-yl)alanine (Bal), β-(naphtha-1-yl)alanine (1-Nal), β-(naphtha-2-yl)alanine (2-Nal), β-diphenylalanine (Dip), β-(anthracen-9-yl)alanine (Ath), β-(4,4′-biphenyl)alanine (Bip), and β-(2,5,7-tri-tert-butyl-indol-3-yl)alanine (Tbt).

4. A method for producing a high-salt resistance antibacterial peptide comprising: providing antibacterial peptide P-113 (SEQ ID NO:1); and replacing/substituting the His4, His5, and/or His12 of P-113 peptide (SEQ ID NO:1) with an aromatic amino acid to thereby produce a high-salt resistance antibacterial peptide,

wherein the length of the side chain of the aromatic amino acid is between 5.415 A and 8.695 A.

5. The method for producing a high-salt resistance antibacterial peptide according to claim 4 , wherein the aromatic amino acid is selected from the group of β-(naphtha-2-yl)alanine (2-Nal), β-(4,4′-biphenyl)alanine (Bip) and β-(2,5,7-tri-tert-butyl-indol-3-yl)alanine (Tbt).
