Structure and Specific Activity of Macrophage-Stimulating Lipopeptides fromMycoplasma hyorhinis
1 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
Mycoplasmas are potent macrophage stimulators. We describe the isolation of macrophage-stimulatory lipopeptides S-[2, 3-bisacyl(C16:0/C18:0)oxypropyl]cysteinyl-GQTDNNSSQSQQPGS GTTNT and S-[2,3-bisacyl(C16:0/C18:0)oxypropyl]cysteinyl-GQTN derived from the Mycoplasma hyorhinis variable lipoproteins VlpA and VlpC, respectively. These lipopeptides were characterized by amino acid sequence and composition analysis and...
