Transcriptional analysis of a Photorhabdus sp. variant reveals transcriptional control of phenotypic variation and multifactorial pathogenicity in insects.
Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 77 , 1009-20, (2011) Photorhabdus luminescens lives in a mutualistic association with entomopathogenic nematodes and is pathogenic for insects. Variants of Photorhabdus frequently arise irreversibly and are studied because they have altered phenotypic traits that are potentially ... |

Comparative mode of action of novel hybrid peptide CS-1a and its rearranged amphipathic analogue CS-2a.
FEBS J. 279(20) , 3776-90, (2012) Cell selective, naturally occurring, host defence cationic peptides present a good template for the design of novel peptides with the aim of achieving a short length with improved antimicrobial potency and selectivity. A novel, short peptide CS-1a (14 residue... |

Surface functionalization of titanium substrates with cecropin B to improve their cytocompatibility and reduce inflammation responses.
Colloids Surf. B Biointerfaces 110 , 225-35, (2013) Bacteria-related inflammation is a common postoperative complication in orthopedic implantation. In this study, cecropin B (CecB), a cationic peptide, was immobilized onto the surfaces of titanium substrates to improve their cytocompatibility and reduce infla... |

A transgenic silkworm expressing the immune-inducible cecropin B-GFP reporter gene.
Insect Biochem. Mol. Biol. 36(5) , 429-34, (2006) To analyze cecropin B promoter (P-CecB) activity in vivo, we constructed transgenic silkworms that expressed EGFP under the control of P-CecB using the piggyBac transposable element. Genomic Southern blot analysis of the G1 and G2 generations indicated the st... |

Expression of the antimicrobial peptides in plants to control phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi.
Plant Cell Rep. 25(6) , 561-72, (2006) Three antimicrobial peptides exhibiting in vitro antifungal activity were expressed in Arabidopsis to compare their in planta activity. Beta-Purothionin, cecropin B, and phor21 were expressed under an endogenous promoter with moderate-level activity and excre... |

Biological activities of cecropin B-thanatin hybrid peptides.
J. Pept. Res. 66(6) , 382-6, (2005) Ten kinds of hybrid peptides containing the N-terminal residues of cecropin B (CB) and C-terminal of thanatin (TH) were constructed and expressed as gluthathion S-transferase (GST)-fusion proteins. Variants were screened for the better biological activity, wh... |

Molecular cloning of cecropin B responsive endonucleases in Yersinia ruckeri.
Mar. Biotechnol. 13(1) , 56-65, (2011) We have previously demonstrated that Yersinia ruckeri resists cecropin B in an inducible manner. In this study, we sought to identify the molecular changes responsible for the inducible cecropin B resistance of Y. ruckeri. Differences in gene expression assoc... |

Immune peptides modelling of Culex pipiens sp by in silico methods.
J. Vector Borne Dis. 49(1) , 19-22, (2012) In the past 60 years, antibiotics have been critical in the fight against infectious diseases caused by bacteria and other microbes. Development of resistance to the antibiotics is emerging as a major public health issue which has resulted in the search for n... |

Fusion expression of cecropin B-like antibacterial peptide in Escherichia coli and preparation of its antiserum.
Biotechnol. Lett. 32(5) , 669-73, (2010) Antibacterial peptides have a broad range of antibacterial properties that makes them highly toxic for expression in Escherichia coli. For prepare an antiserum to detect these peptides, we developed a cecropin B mutant with a green fluorescent protein fusion ... |
