N-terminal sequence of kale antifungal peptide in comparison with other Brassica peptides

	N-terminal sequence	Reference
Kale (Brassica alboglabra) antifungal peptide	1PEGPFQGPKATKPGDLAXQTWGGWXGQTPKY31	This study
Brassica campestris antifungal peptide	1ALSCGTVSGNLAACAGYV18	[17]
Brassica napus trypsin inhibitor	1SECLKEYGGDVGFGFCAPRIYPSFCVQRC29	[5]
B. alboglabra napin-like polypeptide 4.3-kDa subunit	1PAQPFRIKK9	[21]
B. alboglabra napin-like polypeptide 7.2-kDa subunit	1RQGPFERP8	[21]

¹P and Y³¹ indicate P and Y being the 1st and 31st residue, respectively.

Only the kale and B. campestris antifungal peptides [17] exhibit antifungal activity. The remaining two proteins [5], [21] manifest trypsin inhibitory activity. The napin-like polypeptide also possesses antibacterial and antiproliferative activities [21].
