The goal of this project was to clone and express the antimicrobial peptide protegrin 1 (PG-1). Initially a yeast system was chosen but was discarded due to technical difficulties. Invitrogen's bacterial T7 expression system was chosen next to express the peptide. PG-1 expression was verified by anti-his immunoblot and then the peptide was purified by IMAC. Its activity was verified using a Bacillus subtillis radial diffusion assay.

Abstract:
Antimicrobial resistance is a challenge facing the world in the twenty-first century with an estimated 10 million deaths by 2050 if no actions are taken. Microbial resistance to drugs is a natural consequence when bacteria develop and adapt genetically to face new challenges including antibiotics. Currently, this development occurs at a higher rate than drug discovery. Hence there is a need for a new generation of antibiotics that kill pathogenic bacteria. Nature itself provides inspiration for such new antibiotics. For example, our immune system secretes antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which h

Abstract:
The human palatine tonsils play important roles in host immunity and provide a barrier against invading pathogens. However the Gram-positive bacterium, Streptococcus pyogenes often penetrates their defences. This results in tonsillitis, in which sufferers present with swollen and painful palatine tonsils. Moreover tonsillitis is often recurrent. Despite tonsillitis being relatively common, the immunological factors that allow this infection to perpetuate remain obscure. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), expressed at epithelial and mucosal surfaces, provide a first-line of defence against potentia

Abstract:
Filmes de Langmuir são usados como modelos simplificados de membranas celulares, cujas propriedades podem ser correlacionadas com efeitos fisiológicos de moléculas de interesse biológico, como os peptídeos antimicrobianos (PAMs). Nesta dissertação investigamos a interação do peptídeo Aureína 1.2, na forma de monômero (AU), dímero ((AU)2K) e com variações na porção N-terminal (KAU e DAU), com filmes de Langmuir obtidos do extrato lipídico da bactéria Escherichia coli. Todos os peptídeos injetados em concentrações de 20 a 200nM se incorporaram ao filme de Langmuir, causando expansão nas isoterma

Abstract:
Rapid development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among bacteria, combined with diminished new antibiotic discovery rates, is an increasing threat to human health. Bacterially derived antimicrobial peptides (AMP) hold excellent potential as potent novel therapeutics. This study embraces traditional natural AMP discovery methods and the newer in silico genome mining tool BAGEL 3 to facilitate identification of novel antimicrobial agents. The traditional screening efforts led to the discovery of two promising antimicrobial producer strains; Bacillus pumilus J1 producing two AMPs, peptides NI03
