Neutralization of Pseudomonas auruginosa Exotoxin A by human neutrophil peptide 1.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 2018 June 23
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces a large number of virulence factors, including the extracellular protein, Exotoxin A (ETA). Human Neutrophil Peptide 1 (HNP1) neutralizes the Exotoxin A. HNP1 belongs to the family of α-defensins, small effector peptides of the innate immune system that combat against microbial infections. Neutralization of bacterial toxins such as ETA by HNP1 is a novel biological function in addition to direct killing of bacteria. In this study, we report on the interaction between HNP-1 and Exotoxin A at the molecular level to allow for the design and development of potent antibacterial peptides as alternatives to classical antibiotics.
