Cytotoxicity
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
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.
