[tulip antimicrobial peptide-2] This antimicrobial basic thionin-like peptide has been purified from the bulbs of tulip (Tulipa gesneriana L.) (Fujimura et al, 2004). The peptide binds chitin reversibly. It is active against plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Unlike a similar peptide, Tu-AMP-1, Tu-AMP-2 is a heterodimer of two short peptides joined with disulfide bonds. The alpha subunit is KSCCRNTTARNCYNVCRIPG. The beta subunit is TPRPVCAATCDCKIITGTKCPPGYEK.
