Lysozyme gene expression and hemocyte behaviour in the Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis, after injection of various bacteria or temperature stresses (2008)

LI, H, PARISI, M, TOUBIANA, Mylene, CAMMARATA, M, ROCH, Philippe

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of the Mytilus galloprovincialis lysozyme gene in different in vivo stress situations, including injection of bacteria Vibrio splendidus...

NMR structure of mussel mytilin, and antiviral-antibacterial activities of derived synthetic peptides (2008)

ROCH, Philippe, YANG, Y, TOUBIANA, Mylene, AUMELAS, A

Mytilin is a 34-residue antibacterial peptide from the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, which in addition possesses in vitro antiviral activity. The three-dimensional solution structure of the...

Differential distribution and defence involvement of antimicrobial peptides in mussel (2000)

MITTA, Guillaume, VANDENBULCKE, Franck, NOEL, Thierry, ROMESTAND, Bernard, BEAUVILLAIN, Jean Claude, SALZET, Michel, ...

In previous papers, we characterised 3 types of 4-kDa, cysteine-rich, cationic antimicrobial peptides: MGDs (for Mytilus galloprovincialis defensins), mytilins and myticins, which are abundant in the...

Antiprotozoan and Antiviral Activities of Non-cytotoxic Truncated and Variant Analogues of Mussel Defensin

Roch, Philippe, Beschin, Alain, Bernard, Eric

We previously reported the crucial role displayed by loop 3 of defensin isolated from the Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis, in antibacterial and antifungal activities. We now...
