1. Immunolocalization of clavanins in Styela clava hemocytes
Lorenzo P Menzel, In Hee Lee, Birgitta Sjostrand, Robert I Lehrer Dev Comp Immunol. 2002 Jul;26(6):505-15. doi: 10.1016/s0145-305x(02)00010-1.
Antimicrobial peptides play an important role in innate host defenses against infection. Clavanins are histidine-rich, amidated, 23-residue alpha-helical antimicrobial peptides that were isolated from a mixed population of Styela clava hemocytes. To learn which types of hemocytes contained clavanins, we raised a polyclonal antibody that recognized five different clavanins, and used it to localize these peptides by light and electron microscopy. Clavanins were present in the cytoplasmic granules and/or cytoplasm of five different types of granulocytes and they also occurred throughout the cytoplasm of macrophages. The orange G component of Mallory's trichrome stain had a high affinity for clavanins, and for the cytoplasmic granules of S. clava's hemocytes. Semiquantitative analysis of acid urea-PAGE gels suggested that clavanins and styelins comprised between 10 and 20% of the total cellular protein of eosinophilic granulocytes. Orange G and the century-old trichrome stain may provide simple screening tools for identifying cells that contain large amounts of antimicrobial peptides in mixed hemocyte populations.
3. Clavanins, alpha-helical antimicrobial peptides from tunicate hemocytes
I H Lee, C Zhao, Y Cho, S S Harwig, E L Cooper, R I Lehrer FEBS Lett. 1997 Jan 3;400(2):158-62. doi: 10.1016/s0014-5793(96)01374-9.
Hemocytes from the invertebrate Styela clava, a solitary tunicate, contained a family of four alpha-helical antimicrobial peptides that were purified, sequenced and named clavanins A, B, C and D. Each clavanin contained 23 amino acid residues and was C-terminally amidated. The tunicate peptides resembled magainins in size, primary sequence and antibacterial activity. Synthetic clavanin A was prepared and displayed comparable antimicrobial activity to magainins and cecropins. The presence of alpha-helical antimicrobial peptides in the hemocytes of a urochordate suggests that such peptides are primeval effectors of innate immunity in the vertebrate lineage.
