Translocation of non-lytic antimicrobial peptides and bacteria penetrating peptides across the inner membrane of the bacterial envelope

Jakob Frimodt-Moller et al.

Summary: With the increase in multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacteria, the development of novel antimicrobials, including antimicrobial peptides and antimicrobial antisense agents, has become a focus of research. Non-lytic AMP and BPP-PMO/PNA conjugates are able to translocate across the cytoplasmic membrane via receptor-mediated transport, showing promising potential as new antibacterial agents.

Effect of Secondary Structure and Side Chain Length of Hydrophobic Amino Acid Residues on the Antimicrobial Activity and Toxicity of 14-Residue-Long de novo AMPs

Gopal Pandit et al.

Summary: This study reports the efficacy and toxicity of three de novo designed cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) against a range of pathogens, highlighting the importance of optimal hydrophobic interactions in generating highly potent non-cytotoxic AMPs. Among the AMPs tested, VV-14 was found to be non-cytotoxic and highly potent under physiological salt concentrations, able to form amphipathic helical conformations in the presence of microbial membrane mimics. The activity of these AMPs is related to their ability to interact with cell membrane lipids through hydrophobic interactions, determining their antimicrobial potency and cytotoxicity.

A phage-encoded anti-activator inhibits quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Megha Shah et al.

Summary: The study identified a new phage anti-activator protein, Aqs1, which inhibits phage infection by suppressing the quorum-sensing master regulator LasR. Aqs1 also inhibits the bacterial type IV pilus assembly ATPase protein PilB, preventing phages from superinfecting host cells. This research highlights the potential of small phage proteins to disrupt key biological pathways and offers insights into the evolutionary dynamics between phages and their hosts.

The Role of Key Amino Acids in the Antimicrobial Mechanism of a Bacteriocin Model Revealed by Molecular Simulations

Victor L. Cruz et al.

Summary: The AS-48 bacteriocin is a potent antimicrobial polypeptide with enhanced stability due to its circular sequence of peptidic bonds. A computational study was conducted to analyze the membrane disruption mechanism, revealing the two-stage process of peptide binding and membrane poration. The detailed atomistic information obtained from the simulations can help in designing more potent antimicrobial therapies.

AMPGAN v2: Machine Learning-Guided Design of Antimicrobial Peptides

Colin M. Van Oort et al.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance poses a critical public health problem, with AMPs showing promise as a treatment for resistant infections. However, existing AMPs face issues in development, production, and shelf-life. AMPGAN v2 is a bidirectional conditional generative adversarial network (BiCGAN) approach that can efficiently design AMPs with novel and tailored candidates.
