Structure, antimicrobial activities and mode of interaction with membranes of novel [corrected] phylloseptins from the painted-belly leaf frog, Phyllomedusa sauvagii.

Transcriptomic and peptidomic analysis of skin secretions from the Painted-belly leaf frog Phyllomedusa sauvagii led to the identification of 5 novel phylloseptins (PLS-S2 to -S6) and also of phylloseptin-1 (PSN-1, here renamed PLS-S1), the only member of this family previously isolated in this frog...
