Fig. 6. Antimicrobial peptides isolated from skin extracts and skin secretions of Rana grylio grouped into four families on the basis of structural similarity. The families are named after the first peptide in that family to have been described. Ranalexin, ranatuerin-1, ranatuerin-2, and ranatuerins 5–9 are from R. catesbeiana, ranalexin-1Ca and -1Cb, ranatuerin-1C, ranatuerin-2Ca and -2Cb, and temporins 1Ca-1Ce are from R. clamitans, ranatuerin-2B is from R. berlandieri, ranatuerin-2P is from R. pipiens and temporin A is from R. temporaria. In order to maximize structural similarity, deletions denoted by (*) have been introduced into some sequences. (-) denotes residue identity. Fig. 5. Mean concentration-response curves for temporin-induced relaxation of rat thoracic aorta precontracted with KCl. Panel A. Relaxation produced by temporin-1Gb. Panel B. Relaxation produced by temporin1Gd. Note that both peptides caused only a partial relaxation of KClinduced tone. Each curve is the mean of four concentration-response curves, each obtained in a tissue from a different animal.
