  • Additional Information
    Antimicrobial peptides play a critical role in the barrier function of human skin. They offer a fast response to invading microorganisms and protect from external microbial infection. Here we show the isolation of the kallikrein-related peptidase inhibitor SPINK9 as a major antibacterial factor from healthy stratum corneum. In total, six N-terminal SPINK9 variants were identified in the stratum corneum. Whereas all variants exhibited similar inhibition activities against kallikrein-related peptidase, only three variants with either lysine or glutamine as their first N-terminal residues were able to kill various Escherichia coli strains, but not other bacteria or fungi. The killing activity also depended on the sequence essential for kallikrein-related peptidase inhibition. Ultrastructural electron microscopy analyses suggested that SPINK9 entered the cell and killed growing bacteria. A bacterial chaperone, SKP, was identified as the major SPINK9 interacting partner in E. coli cells. The Skpdeleted mutant was more sensitive to SPINK9 than the wild-type control, suggesting that the bactericidal activity of SPINK9 should first overcome the resistance from the bacterial chaperone SKP. Thus, SPINK9 is a member of epidermal antimicrobial peptides for selective killing of E. coli, which might contribute to the innate barrier function of human skin.

  • About TFA salt

    Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a strong acid, which is commonly used to cleave synthesized peptides from solid-phase resins and is also used to improve HPLC performance in the peptide purification step. By default, custom peptides are delivered as lyophilized TFA salts, and can contain as much as 10-45% TFA.

    TFA in custom peptides can cause inexplicable discrepancies in subsequent assay data. For instance, TFA in nM concentrations has been shown to interfere with cellular assays, inhibiting cellular proliferation in some instances, and increasing cell viability in others . It has also been found to be an unintended allosteric modulator of the glycine receptor, GlyR.

    TFA Removal Service is recommended for:

    • Peptides that will be used in cellular assays
    • Peptides that will be used as APIs or in manufactured products
    • For hydrophilic peptides containing numerous basic residues
