| pubmed-article:12351633 | pubmed:abstractText | The antifungal protein AFP is a small polypeptide of 51 amino acid residues secreted by Aspergillus giganteus. Its potent activity against phytopathogenic fungi converts AFP in a promising tool in plant protection. However, no data have been reported regarding the mode of action of AFP. The three-dimensional structure of this protein, a small and compact beta barrel composed of five highly twisted antiparallel beta strands, displays the characteristic features of the oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide binding (OB fold) structural motif. A comparison of the structures of AFP and OB fold-containing proteins shows this structural similarity despite the absence of any significant sequence similarity. AFP, like most OB fold-containing proteins, binds nucleic acids. The protein promotes charge neutralization and condensation of DNA as demonstrated by electrophoretic mobility shift and ethidium bromide displacement assays. Nucleic acid produces quenching of the protein fluorescence emission. This nucleic acid interacting ability of AFP may be related to the antifungal activity of this small polypeptide. | lld:pubmed |
