Abstract
The membrane permeabilisation properties of six linear natural 18-residue peptaibols, termed trichorzins PA, have been assessed on liposomes and on mollicutes (trivial name, mycoplasmas), a class of parasitic bacteria characterized by a small genome, the lack of a cell wall, a minute cell size, and the incorporation in their plasma membrane of exogenously supplied cholesterol. The trichorzins PA used in this study (PA II, PA IV-VI, PA VIII, and PA IX) differ between them by amino acid or amino alcohol substitutions at positions 4, 7, and 18, and form slightly amphipathic alpha-helices. They proved bactericidal for mollicutes belonging to the genera Acholeplasma, Mycoplasma, and Spiroplasma, with minimal inhibitory concentrations (3.12</=MICs</=50 microM) generally 2 to 4 fold higher than those of alamethicin F50, a related 20-residue peptide (1.56</=MICs</=12.5 microM). Spiroplasma cells were apparently not protected by the presence of spiralin on their surface. The activities of the six trichorzins PA were not influenced by their sequence variations and no synergistic effect was observed. Consistent with the marginal effect of cholesterol on the incorporation of the trichorzins PA into liposome bilayers, the antibiotic activit...Continue Reading
