Identification and characterization of CC-AMP1-like and CC-AMP2-like peptides in Capsicum spp.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are compounds with a variety of bioactive properties. Especially promising are their antibacterial activities, often towards drug-resistant pathogens. Across different AMP sources, AMPs expressed within plants are relatively underexplored, with a limited number of plant AMP families identified. Recently, we identified the novel AMPs CC-AMP1 and CC-AMP2 in ghost pepper plants (Capsicum chinense x frutescens), exerting promising antibacterial activity and not classifying into any known plant AMP family. Herein, AMPs related to CC-AMP1 and CC-AMP2 were identified within both Capsicum annuum and Capsicum baccatum. Targeted MS/MS experiments were performed to determine peptide sequences, guided by in silico AMP sequence predictions.
