Activity Information


Target Organism  HIV-1

Assay  CPEb (XTT)

Activity 

  • [Ref:7787424]HIV-1:ED50=0.08μM

Hemolytic Activity  No hemolysis information or data found in the reference(s) presented in this entry

Cytotoxicity 

  • [Ref:7787424]TC50=150

Binding Target  as an inhibitor of fusion of gp160- and CD4-expressing cell

Mechanism  Siamycin I inhibits fusion between C8166 cells and CEM-SS cells chronically infected with HIV (50% effective dose of 0.08 microM) but has no effect on Sendai virus-induced fusion or murine myoblast fusion.



Structure Information


PDB ID  None

Predicted Structure Download 

Linear/Cyclic  Linear

N-terminal Modification  Free

C-terminal Modification  Amidation

Other Modification  It differs from Siamycin I only by one amino acid. Siamycin I has a valine residue at position 4. In both peptides, disulfide bonds link Cys1 with Cys13 and Cys7 with Cys19, and the side chain of Asp9 forms an amide bond with the N-terminus (XXJ). The original has been replaced since antimicrobial assays revealed no activity.
