Several amyloid-forming and antimicrobial peptides (AMYs and AMPs) have the ability to bind to and damage cell membranes. In addition, some AMYs possess antimicrobial activity and some AMPs form amyloid-like fibrils, relating the two peptide types and their properties. However, a comparison of their sequence characteristics reveals important differences. The high β-strand and aggregation propensities...
A naturally occurring staphylococcal α-toxin fragment with an apparent membrane-binding capacity but without toxic activities is shown to be derived from the C-terminal half of the intact polypeptide chain by cleavage between position 134 and 135 in the parent molecule. The resulting N-terminus is slightly ragged with a fragment start not only at position 135 but also at the adjacent position 136...
