1. Novel antimicrobial peptides isolated from the skin secretions of Hainan odorous frog, Odorrana hainanensis
Hui Wang, Zhijun Yu, Yuhong Hu, Fengjiao Li, Limeng Liu, Hongyuan Zheng, Hao Meng, Shujie Yang, Xiaolong Yang, Jingze Liu Peptides. 2012 Jun;35(2):285-90. doi: 10.1016/j.peptides.2012.03.007. Epub 2012 Mar 16.
Long time geographical isolation of Hainan Island from the China continent has resulted in appearance of many novel frog species. As one of them, Hainan odorous frog, Odorrana hainanensis possesses some special antimicrobial peptides distinct from those found in other Odorrana. In this study, three antimicrobial peptides have been purified and characterized from the skin secretion of O. hainanensis. With the similarity to the temporin family, two peptides are characterized by amidated C-terminals, so they are named as temporin-HN1 (AILTTLANWARKFL-NH(2)) and temporin-HN2 (NILNTIINLAKKIL-NH(2)). The third antimicrobial peptide belongs to the brevinin-1 family which is widely distributed in Eurasian ranids, and thus, it is named as brevinin-1HN1 (FLPLIASLAANFVPKIFCKITKKC). Furthermore, after sequencing 68 clones, eight cDNAs encoding antimicrobial peptide precursors were cloned from the skin-derived cDNA library of O. hainanensis. These eight cDNAs can encode seven mature antimicrobial peptides including the above three, as well as brevinin-1V, brevinin-2HS2, odorranain-A6, and odorranain-B1. Twelve different species of microorganisms were chosen, including Gram-positive, Gram-negative and fungi, to test the antimicrobial activities of temporin-HN1, temporin-HN2, brevinin-1HN1, brevinin-1V, and brevinin-2HS2. The result shows that, in addition to their activities against Gram-positive bacteria, temporin-HN1 and temporin-HN2 also possess activities against some Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. However, the two antimicrobial peptides, brevinin-1HN1 and brevinin-1V of the brevinin-1 family have stronger antimicrobial activities than temporin-HN1 and temporin-HN2 of the temporin family. Brevinin-1HN1 possesses activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923), Rhodococcus rhodochrous X15, and Slime mould 090223 at the concentration of 1.2 μM.
2. Identification and structure-activity relationship of an antimicrobial peptide of the palustrin-2 family isolated from the skin of the endangered frog Odorrana ishikawae

Recently, we identified nine novel antimicrobial peptides from the skin of the endangered anuran species, Odorrana ishikawae, to assess its innate immune system. In this study an additional antimicrobial peptide was initially isolated based on antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli. The new antimicrobial peptide belonging to the palustrin-2 family was named palustrin-2ISb. It consists of 36 amino acid residues including 7 amino acids C-terminal to the cyclic heptapeptide Rana box domain. The peptide's primary structure suggests a close relationship with the Chinese odorous frog, Odorrana grahami. The cloned cDNA encoding the precursor protein contained a signal peptide, an N-terminal acidic spacer domain, a Lys-Arg processing site and the C-terminal precursor antimicrobial peptide. It also contained 3 amino acid residues at the C-terminus not found in the mature peptide. Finally, the antimicrobial activities against four microorganisms (E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus and Candida albicans) were investigated using several synthetic peptides. A 29 amino acid truncated form of the peptide, lacking the 7 amino acids C-terminal to the Rana box, possessed greater antimicrobial activities than the native structure.
3. Identification and characterization of antimicrobial peptides from the skin of the endangered frog Odorrana ishikawae
Eiko Iwakoshi-Ukena, Kazuyoshi Ukena, Aiko Okimoto, Miyuki Soga, Genya Okada, Naomi Sano, Tamotsu Fujii, Yoshiaki Sugawara, Masayuki Sumida Peptides. 2011 Apr;32(4):670-6. doi: 10.1016/j.peptides.2010.12.013. Epub 2010 Dec 28.
The endangered anuran species, Odorrana ishikawae, is endemic to only two small Japanese Islands, Amami and Okinawa. To assess the innate immune system in this frog, we investigated antimicrobial peptides in the skin using artificially bred animals. Nine novel antimicrobial peptides containing the C-terminal cyclic heptapeptide domain were isolated on the basis of antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli. The peptides were members of the esculentin-1 (two peptides), esculentin-2 (one peptide), palustrin-2 (one peptide), brevinin-2 (three peptides) and nigrocin-2 (two peptides) antimicrobial peptide families. They were named esculentin-1ISa, esculentin-1ISb, esculentin-2ISa, palustrin-2ISa, brevinin-2ISa, brevinin-2ISb, brevinin-2ISc, nigrocin-2ISa and nigrocin-2ISb. Peptide primary structures suggest a close relationship with the Asian odorous frogs, Odorrana grahami and Odorrana hosii. These antimicrobial peptides possessed a broad-spectrum of growth inhibition against five microorganisms (E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans). Nine different cDNAs encoding the precursor proteins were also cloned and showed that the precursor proteins exhibited a signal peptide, an N-terminal acidic spacer domain, a Lys-Arg processing site and an antimicrobial peptide at the C-terminus.
