ABSTRACT:
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of small peptides that widely exist in nature and they are an important part of the innate immune system of different organisms. Lysostaphin is a 27 KDa glycylglycine endopeptidase, an antibacterial enzyme which is capable of cleaving the crosslinking pentaglycine bridges found in the cell wall peptidoglycan of certain Staphylococci. Lysins are being used as antibacterial agents due to their high effectiveness and specificity in comparison with antibiotics, which are susceptible to bacterial resistance. A few of the peptidoglycan hydrolases such as lysostaphin (AAB53783.1), enterolysin (AGG79281.1), and endolysin (YP_009901016.1) were selected for the study based on an extensive text mining process. The present study identified AMPs from the antimicrobial proteins mentioned above and their properties were further assessed. In silico prediction tools identified lysostaphin, enterolysin and endolysin to harbour 3, 2 and 1 peptide molecules respectively. Out of three peptides of lysostaphin 2 were found to exhibit antibiofilm property and one was found to exhibit antifungal property. Antimicrobial peptides are that widely exist in nature and they are an important part of the innate immune system of different organisms, with a wide range of inhibitory effects against bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses. They have been shown to have a broad spectrum of activity which ranges from anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-parasitic etc. The major class of peptides is as follows: cationic peptides, anionic peptides, cationic amphipathic peptides, host defense peptides, alpha helical peptides.
