Molecular characterization and functional analyses of a hepcidin gene from Bostrychus sinensis
2021-11-01
Abstract excerpt
To study the antimicrobial activity of Bostrychus sinensis hepcidin (termed as BsHep), we cloned and sequenced the cDNA of BsHep. The BsHep cDNA has a 273-bp open reading frame, which encodes 90 amino acids (aa). The BsHep protein contains a signal peptide of 24 aa, a mature peptide of 26 aa (⁶⁵QSHLSLCRWCCNCCRGYKGCGFCCKF⁹⁰), an RXXR motif (⁶¹REKR⁶⁴), a conserved ATCUN motif (⁶⁵QSH⁶⁷) and eight cysteine residues (C...
