Ureases from different biological sources display non-ureolytic properties that contribute to plant defense, in addition to their classical enzymatic urea hydrolysis. Antifungal and entomotoxic effects were demonstrated for Jaburetox, an intrinsically disordered polypeptide derived from jack bean (<i>Canavalia ensiformis</i>) urease. Here we describe the properties of Soyuretox, a polypeptide derived from soybean (<i>Glycine max</i>) ubiquitous urease. Soyuretox was fungitoxic to <i>Candida albi ...[more]
