Recently, we have isolated from bovine chromaffin granules and identified two natural peptides possessing antibacterial activity: secretolytin (chromogranin B 614-626) and enkelytin (proenkephalin-A 209-237). Here, we characterize a large natural fragment, corresponding to chromogranin A 79-431, that inhibits growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The aim of the present work was to determine the shortest active peptide located in the 79-431 chromogranin A region. Three peptides, which shared the same 173-194 chromogranin A sequence (YPGPQAKEDSEGPSQGPASREK) but differed in post-translational modifications, including O-glycosylation and tyrosine phosphorylation, were isolated. A detailed study using microsequencing and mass spectrometry allowed us to correlate their antibacterial activity with these post-translational modifications. The chromogranin A precursor fragment (79-431) and the active glycosylated and phosphorylated peptides were, respectively, named prochromacin and chromacin (P, G, and PG for phosphorylated, glycosylated, and phosphorylated-glycosylated form).

D002864 Chromogranins A group of acidic proteins that are major components of SECRETORY GRANULES in the endocrine and neuroendocrine cells. They play important roles in the aggregation, packaging, sorting, and processing of secretory protein prior to secretion. They are cleaved to release biologically active peptides. There are various types of granins, usually classified by their sources. Chromogranin,Granin,Secretogranin,Secretogranins,Granins
D006031 Glycosylation The synthetic chemistry reaction or enzymatic reaction of adding carbohydrate or glycosyl groups. GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASES carry out the enzymatic glycosylation reactions. The spontaneous, non-enzymatic attachment of reducing sugars to free amino groups in proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids is called GLYCATION (see MAILLARD REACTION).

D000313 Adrenal Medulla The inner portion of the adrenal gland. Derived from ECTODERM, adrenal medulla consists mainly of CHROMAFFIN CELLS that produces and stores a number of NEUROTRANSMITTERS, mainly adrenaline (EPINEPHRINE) and NOREPINEPHRINE. The activity of the adrenal medulla is regulated by the SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. Adrenal Medullas,Medulla, Adrenal,Medullas, Adrenal
