1. Characterization of novel antimicrobial peptides from the skins of frogs of the Rana esculenta complex
Mohamed F Ali, Floyd C Knoop, Hubert Vaudry, J Michael Conlon Peptides. 2003 Jul;24(7):955-61. doi: 10.1016/s0196-9781(03)00193-1.
Rana esculenta is a hybridogenetic hybrid between Rana ridibunda and Rana lessonae and so is best considered as a complex of interbreeding species rather than a discrete single species. In this study, antimicrobial peptides were isolated from a pooled extract of the skins of specimens of the R. esculenta complex collected in the wild. In addition to several peptides belonging to the brevinin and esculentin families that have been previously isolated from skin secretions of a single specimen of R. esculenta, three newly described members of the brevinin-2 family (brevinin-2Ei, brevinin-2Ej, and brevinin-2Ek) and one member of the temporin family (temporin-1Ec) were purified and characterized. In addition, three structurally related peptides with no sequence similarity with antimicrobial peptides isolated from other species of ranid frogs, that potently and selectively inhibit the growth of the Gram-positive bacterium Escherichia coli (minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC<5 microM)), were identified. These peptides show limited amino acid sequence similarity to the homologous exon gene products that encode the N-terminal flanking peptides of preprocaerulein, preproxenopsin, and preprolevitide and so have been termed caerulein precursor-related fragments (CPRF-Ea, CPRF-Eb, and CPRF-Ec). The data suggest that there may be considerable polymorphism among specimens from different populations of the R. esculenta complex. It is proposed that the distribution and amino acid sequences of skin antimicrobial peptides may be useful markers for taxonomic classification of particular sub-populations and for an understanding of phylogenetic interrelationships.
2. Antimicrobial peptides of the brevinin-2 family isolated from gastric tissue of the frog, Rana esculenta
Y Wang, F C Knoop, I Remy-Jouet, C Delarue, H Vaudry, J M Conlon Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1998 Dec 30;253(3):600-3. doi: 10.1006/bbrc.1998.9822.
Four structurally related peptides with potent growth-inhibitory activity towards Escherichia coli were isolated from an extract of the stomach of the European green frog Rana esculenta, and were identified as members of the brevinin-2 family. Two peptides, termed brevinin-2Eg (GIMDTLKNLA10 KTAGKGALQS20 LLNHASCK LS30GQC) and brevinin-2Eh (GIMDTLKNLA10 KTAGKGALQS20 LLNHASCKL S30 KQC) have not been described previously. One peptide is identical to brevinin-2Ec, previously isolated from R. esculenta skin secretions, and one peptide is identical to brevinin-2Ef whose structure has been deduced from a cloned cDNA prepared from a R. esculenta skin cDNA library. The data demonstrate that certain peptides of the brevinin-2 family, like the magainins in the toad, Xenopus laevis, may play an important role in protecting the gastrointestinal tract of Ranid frogs against microbial invasion.
3. Peptides with antimicrobial activity from four different families isolated from the skins of the North American frogs Rana luteiventris, Rana berlandieri and Rana pipiens
J Goraya, Y Wang, Z Li, M O'Flaherty, F C Knoop, J E Platz, J M Conlon Eur J Biochem. 2000 Feb;267(3):894-900. doi: 10.1046/j.1432-1327.2000.01074.x.
The skins of frogs of the genus Rana synthesize a complex array of antimicrobial peptides that may be grouped into eight families on the basis of structural similarity. A total of 24 peptides with differential growth-inhibitory activity towards the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli and the yeast Candida albicans were isolated from extracts of the skins of three closely related North American frogs, Rana luteiventris (spotted frog), Rana berlandieri (Rio Grande leopard frog) and Rana pipiens (Northern leopard frog). Structural characterization of the antimicrobial peptides demonstrated that they belonged to four of the known families: the brevinin-1 family, first identified in skin of the Asian frog Rana porosa brevipoda; the esculentin-2 family, first identified in the European frog Rana esculenta; the ranatuerin-2 family, first identified in the North American bullfrog Rana catesbeiana; and the temporin family, first identified in the European frog Rana temporaria. Peptides belonging to the brevinin-2, ranalexin, esculentin-1 and ranatuerin-1 families were not identified in the extracts. Despite the close phylogenetic relationship between the various species of Ranid frogs, the distribution and amino-acid sequences of the antimicrobial peptides produced by each species are highly variable and species-specific, suggesting that they may be valuable in taxonomic classification and molecular phylogenetic analysis.
