摘要
Semenogelin I (SgI) is one of the most abundant proteins in human seminal plasma. SgI plays a key role in sperm coagulation and spermatozoon immobilization. in addition, SgI and/or its proteolytic fragments are involved in regulating spermatozoon motility, capacitation and inhibin-like activity. However, little is known about the antibacterial activity of SgI-derived peptides. By a combination of ion-exchange, gel filtration and high-performance liquid chromatography, peptides from liquefied human seminal plasma from 40 healthy donors were isolated and characterized. N-terminal amino-acid sequencing and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry revealed that four isolated peptides were SgI-derived, namely SgI-29 (8S-113), SgI-46 (85-130), SgI-47 (85-131) and SgI-52 (85-136). Interestingly, SgI-29, SgI-46 and SgI-47 are newly identified SgI-derived peptides. Antimicrobial activity assay results indicated that synthesized SgI-29 had strong antibacterial activity toward various bacterial strains. Our results indicate that SgI can be digested into small fragments like newly identified SgI-29, SgI-46 and SgI-47 and may have diversified functions. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
