Molecular diversity of antimicrobial effectors in the oyster Crassostrea gigas
Background To gain insight into the molecular diversity of antimicrobial peptides and
proteins in the oyster Crassostrea gigas, we characterized and compared the sequence
polymorphism of the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), Cg-Defensins (Cg-Defs) and Cg-Proline
Rich peptide (Cg-Prp), and of the bactericidal permeability increasing protein, Cg-BPI. For
that, we analyzed genomic and transcript sequences obtained by specific PCR amplification
and in silico searches. Results High diversification among the three antimicrobial effectors …
