Addtional InformationCompared to Pn-AMP2 (APD entry 1052), Pn-AMP1 contains one additional residue (Ser) at the C-terminus. Rich in G; contains four disulfide bonds.Active against fungi even if they do not contain chitin. It most likely perturbs the membranes. Transgenic plants: expression of this peptide in tobacco improves resistance to pathogens (Montesinos E 2007 FEMS Microbiol Lett 270, 1-11).
