Aphid bcr4 structure and activity uncover a new defensin peptide superfamily

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Karine Loth and colleagues from the Centre de Biophysique Molu00e9culaire, CNRS UPR, Orlu00e9ans, France have published the paper: Aphid BCR4 Structure and Activity Uncover a New Defensin Peptide Superfamily, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors show that one of the pisum BCRs BCR4 displays prominent insecticidal activity against the pea aphid impairing insect survival and nymphal growth providing evidence for its potential use as biopesticide. The authors focused on BCR4 of A. pisum, a benchmark example of a peptide with antimicrobial activities . The complete set of 83ToBCR sequences was used for amino_acidBCR sequence . . .
