Drosomycin is an antifungal peptide from Drosophila melanogaster and it is the first antifungal peptide isolated from insects. This peptide was discovered in 1994 by Fehlbaum and his team.[1] Expression of this peptide is inducible and in systemic way is regulated by Toll pathway,[2] while expression in respiratory tract is controlled by immune deficiency pathway (IMD).[3] It means that drosomycin, with other antimicrobial peptides (AMP) such as cecropins,[4][5] diptericin,[6] drosocin,[7] metchnikowin[8] and attacin[9] serves as a first line defense in case of septic wounds. However drosomycin is not expressed only in case of wound, but is also expressed constitutively in some parts of Drosophila´s body in all developmental stages (larvae, pupae, adult).[10]

Structure

This peptide composed from 44 amino acids residues and has four disulfide bridges, which stabilized one α-helix and three stranded β-sheet. Owing to these four bridges drosomycin has quite large resistance to proteases.[11][12][13] In drosomycin is appearing evolutionary conservative cysteine stabilized αβ motif, which can be also found in other Drosophila defensins or in some plant defensins. It is interesting, that drosomycin has bigger sequence similarity with these plant defensis, for example defensin from Raphanus sativus (about 40%), than with other insect defensins.[14] The structure was discovered in 1997 by Landon and his colleagues[15]

Drosomycin multigene family

From genetic point of view drosomycin is coded by 387 bp long gene Drs which lies on the third chromosome[16] clustered with six other genes (Dro1-6) and creating together drosomycin multigene family. However these genes do not have similar activities as would appear, which has been experimentally proven by Yang and his colleagues.[17][18] Nevertheless, it is not as simple as it looks. In 2015 Gao and Zhu have found that in some Drosophila species (D. takahashii) some of these genes have been duplicated and this Drosophila has 11 genes in the drosomycin multigene family in total.[19]

Function

It seems that drosomycin has about three major functions on fungi, the first is partial lysis of hyphae, second is inhibition of spore germination (in higher concentrations of drosomycin) and the last is delaying of hyphea growth, which leads to hyphae branching (in lower concentrations of drosomycin).[20] The exact mechanism of function to fungi still has to be clarified.
