Abstract
The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having antimicrobial activity and isolated polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods for producing and using the polypeptides.
Claims12
An isolated polypeptide having antimicrobial activity, selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) a polypeptide with at least 80% sequence identity with amino acids 1 to 21 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- (b) a polypeptide which is encoded by a polynucleotide which hybridizes under high stringency conditions with (i) nucleotides 496 to 558 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1,(ii) the cDNA sequence contained in nucleotides 1 to 558 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, or (iii) a complementary strand of (i) or (ii);
- and
- (c) a polypeptide which is a fragment of the sequence of amino acids 1 to 21 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2, which has antimicrobial activity.
