“…The permeabilizing effect of puroindolines on bacterial and fungal membranes was previously implied by Blochet et al (1993) and confirmed by others (Dubreil et al 1998a;Krishnamurthy et al 2001a;Jing et al 2003). The puroindolines are structurally related to several other plant proteins that have microbiological properties such as thionins and nsLTPs (Broekaert et al 1997). They are small, basic (pI > 10), and cysteine rich, which confers a high affinity for lipids, and they have five disulfide bounds.…”

“…In the second half of the 1990s it was already recognized that the plant defensin family was quite diverse regarding amino acid composition as well as biological activity Broekaert et al 1995Broekaert et al , 1997Segura et al 1998). Some defensins were not found to display any antimicrobial activity, while others were found to have antifungal or occasionally antibacterial activity in vitro.…”

“…Plant defensins exhibit antifungal activity against a broad range of phytopathogenic fungi and can also inhibit human fungal pathogens (such as Candida albicans) at low concentrations (1 -100 mg/ml) [28,29]. So far, only a few plant defensins have been shown to possess antibacterial activity [30 -33].…”
