Lactoferricin (Lfcin), a multifunction short peptide with a length of 25 residues, is derived from the whey protein lactoferrin by acidic pepsin hydrolysis. It has potent nutritional enhancement, antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral, antiparasitic, and anti-inflammatory activities. This review describes the research advantages of the above biological functions, with attention to the molecular design...
The tri-hybrid peptide-LHP7 has the potent activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative as well as fungi, but its mechanism of action has remained elusive. The effluences of LHP7 on the Staphylococcus aureus cell membrane and targets of intracellular action were investigated. LHP7 exhibited an inhibitory effect on the S. aureus growth, similar to those achieved by plectasin, vancomycin and gramicidin...
This is a short preface of this Special Issue Lactoferrin, it described the major points of key reporters in ‘The 9th International Conference on LF Structure, Function and Applications’ in Beijing in late Autumn 2009, and the major articles published in this issue. A panaroma and the lastest advances of lactoferrin R&D during past two years (2007–2009) was tried to extract.
The investigation of the recombinant bovine lactoferrin-derived antimicrobial protein (rBLfA) demonstrates that the inter-lobe region of bovine lactoferrin contributes to iron binding stability and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. rBLfA containing N-lobe (amino acid residues 1–333) and inter-lobe region (residues 334–344) was expressed in Pichia pastoris at shaking flask and fermentor...
The lactoferrin cDNA of Kunming mice was isolated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and cloned into vector pET28a(+). Its deduced amino acid sequence was analyzed and compared with lactoferrin of other species. Its secondary and tertiary structure are predicted and modeled by bioinformatics tools online. Then recombinant Kunming mice lactoferrin and its N-lobe were both expressed...
