Deadly weapon: frog peptide - Cosmos Magazine

Deadly weapon: frog peptide An unassuming Australian amphibian may inspire novel synthetic drugs to combat bacterial infections, according to European researchers. In a paper published in the journal PNAS, the team – led by the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) – discovered intriguing molecular properties of an antimicrobial peptide that is secreted on the skin of Mjoberg’s toadlet ( Uperoleia mjobergi). This tiny critter, the size of a dollar coin, is native to the Kimberley region in WA. It received its cute moniker because it looks “toad-like”, despite having no relation to true toads – it’s actually a frog.

Bacteria Croak in the Presence of Toadlet Peptide

Antibacterial peptides are found across the animal kingdom, serving roles in nature by fighting microbial infections and diseases such as cancer. Now researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Hamburg, report they have discovered the molecular properties of an antibacterial peptide, uperin 3.5, that is secreted on the skin of the Australian toadlet. Their findings may lead to the development of new synthetic drugs to combat bacterial infections. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers discovered that the peptide uperin 3.5 self-assembles into a unique fibrous structure, that can change its form in the presence of bacteria to protect the toadlet from infections.
