Two forms of a novel antimicrobial peptide (AMP), named WAMP-1a and WAMP-1b, that differ by a single C-terminal amino acid residue and belong to a new structural type of plant AMP were purified from seeds of Triticum kiharaeDorof. et Migusch. | A novel antifungal hevein-type peptide from Triticum kiharae seeds with a unique 10-cysteine motif Tatyana I.

Although WAMP-1a and WAMP-1b share similarity with hevein-type peptides they possess 10 cysteine residues arranged in a unique cysteine motif which is distinct from those described previously for plant AMPs but is characteristic of the chitin-binding domains of cereal class I chitinases. An unusual substitution of a serine for a glycine residue in the chitin-binding domain was detected for the first time in hevein-like polypeptides. Recombinant WAMP-1a was successfully produced in Escherichia coli. This is the first case of high-yield production of a cysteine-rich plant AMP from a synthetic gene. Assays of recombinant WAMP-1a activity showed that the peptide possessed high .
