Liposome destabilization induced by the HIV-1 fusion peptide effect of a single amino acid substitution.

Abstract:

:The 23-residue synthetic peptide representing the N-terminus of HIV-1 gp41 is known to induce either leakage or fusion of lipid vesicles depending on the experimental conditions. In this paper we report that a polar amino acid substitution V-->E at position 2, known to block gp41 activity in vivo, makes the peptide unable to destabilize and/or fuse membranes. Moreover this variant, unlike the parent peptide, is never found in the membrane-associated beta conformation.

  • Galanin - a novel biologically active peptide from porcine intestine.

    abstract::The isolation of a novel biologically active peptide, designated galanin, is described. The peptide was discovered by the detection of its C-terminal amide structure in porcine intestinal extract using a chemical method.
