We purified and characterized an unusual antimicrobial peptide, prophenin-1 (PF-1), from porcine leukocytes. The peptide had a mass of 8,683 and contained 79 residues, including 42 (53.2%) prolines and 15 (19.0%) phenylalanines. Its N-terminal 60 residues consisted of three perfect and three nearly perfect repeats of a decamer, FPPPNFPGPR. Prophenin-1 was encoded on a cathelin-containing precursor and showed substantially more activity against E. coli, a Gram-negative bacterium, than against Listeria monocytogenes, a Gram-positive organism, in vitro.
