Isolation and Characterization of Gomesin, an 18-Residue Cysteine-rich Defense Peptide from the Spider Acanthoscurria gomesiana Hemocytes with Sequence Similarities to Horseshoe Crab Antimicrobial Peptides of the Tachyplesin Family

We have purified a small size antimicrobial peptide, named gomesin, from the hemocytes of the unchallenged tarantula spider Acanthoscurria gomesiana. Gomesin has a molecular mass of 2270.4 Da, with 18 amino acids, including a pyroglutamic acid as the N terminus, a C-terminal arginine α-amide, and fo...

description We have purified a small size antimicrobial peptide, named gomesin, from the hemocytes of the unchallenged tarantula spider Acanthoscurria gomesiana. Gomesin has a molecular mass of 2270.4 Da, with 18 amino acids, including a pyroglutamic acid as the N terminus, a C-terminal arginine α-amide, and four cysteine residues forming two disulfide bridges. This peptide shows marked sequence similarities to antimicrobial peptides from other arthropods such as tachyplesin and polyphemusin from horseshoe crabs and androctonin from scorpions. Interestingly, it also shows sequence similarities to protegrins, antimicrobial peptides from porcine leukocytes. Gomesin strongly affects bacterial growth, as well as the development of filamentous fungi and yeast. In addition, we showed that gomesin affects the viability of the parasite Leishmania amazonensis.
