Q., Yuan, J., Osapay, G., Osapay, K., Tran, D., Miller, C. J., Ouellette, A. J., and Selsted, M. E. (1999) Science 286, 498-502). The structures of RTD-2 and RTD-3 were predicted to exist if homodimeric splicing of the RTD1a and RTD1b occurs in vivo. Western blotting disclosed the presence of putative theta-defensins, distinct from RTD-1, in leukocyte extracts. Two new theta-defensins, RTD-2 and RTD-3, were purified by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography and characterized by amino acid analysis, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy, and comparison to the synthetic standards. RTD-2 and RTD-3 are the predicted homodimeric splicing products of RTD1b and RTD1a, respectively. The cellular abundances of RTD-1, -2, and -3 were 29:1:2, indicating that there is a preference for the heterodimeric ligation that generates RTD-1. RTD-1, -2, and -3 had similar antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Cryptococcus neoformans, whereas the activity of RTD-2 against Escherichia coli was 2-3-fold less than those of RTD-1 and RTD-3. Equal amounts of each theta-defensin bound to E. coli cells, indicating that the differences in antibacterial activities are the result of post-binding processes."xsd:string |
