Hydramacin-1 is a novel antimicrobial protein recently discovered during investigations of the epithelial defense of the ancient metazoan Hydra. The amino acid sequence of hydramacin-1 shows no sequence homology to any known antimicrobial proteins. Determination of the solution structure revealed that hydramacin-1 possesses a disulfide bridge-stabilized αβ motif. This motif is the common scaffold of the knottin protein fold. The structurally closest relatives are the scorpion oxin-like… CONTINUE READING
