Antimicrobial binding of a radiolabeled cationic neutrophil granule protein. 1987

M M Farley, and W M Shafer, and J K Spitznagel

A 57,000-dalton protein (CAP57) purified from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes has antimicrobial activity against a number of gram-negative bacteria. We developed a procedure using solid-phase Iodo-gen to radiolabel CAP57 without destroying its antibacterial activity. Iodinated and native CAP57 were electrophoretically identical. Autoradiographs of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels revealed greater than 95% of the 125I in a single heavy band in the 57,000-molecular-weight region. The quantity of [125I]CAP57 bound to bacterial test strains was directly proportional to the sensitivity to CAP57.

D001770 Blood Bactericidal Activity The natural bactericidal property of BLOOD due to normally occurring antibacterial substances such as beta lysin, leukin, etc. This activity needs to be distinguished from the bactericidal activity contained in a patient's serum as a result of antimicrobial therapy, which is measured by a SERUM BACTERICIDAL TEST.

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria

D023181 Antimicrobial Cationic Peptides Small cationic peptides that are an important component, in most species, of early innate and induced defenses against invading microbes. In animals they are found on mucosal surfaces, within phagocytic granules, and on the surface of the body. They are also found in insects and plants. Among others, this group includes the DEFENSINS, protegrins, tachyplesins, and thionins. They displace DIVALENT CATIONS from phosphate groups of MEMBRANE LIPIDS leading to disruption of the membrane.
