Big defensins and mytimacins, new AMP families of the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis.

Developmental and comparative immunology - 1 Feb 2012

Abstract excerpt

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play a fundamental role in the innate immunity of invertebrates, preventing the invasion of potential pathogens. Mussels can express a surprising abundance of cysteine-rich AMPs pertaining to the defensin, myticin, mytilin and mytimycin families, particularly in the circulating hemocytes. Based on deep RNA sequencing of Mytilus galloprovincialis, we describe the identification,...
