Histidine 19 Residue Is Essential for Cell Internalization of Antifungal Peptide SmAP(α1-21) Derived from the α-Core of the Silybum marianum Defensin DefSm2-D in Fusarium graminearum

The synthetic peptide SmAP(α1-21) (KLCEKPSKTWFGNCGNPRHCG) derived from DefSm2-D defensin α-core is active at micromolar concentrations against the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum and has a multistep mechanism of action that includes alteration of the fungal cell wall and membrane permeab...
