Crustin protein Amk1 from black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) inhibits Vibrio harveyi and Staphylococcus aureus

A crustin gene (Amk1) was identified from a haemocyte library of the black tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon. The full-length cDNA consists of 411 bp encoding a deduced precursor of 136 amino acids with a signal peptide of 17 aminoacids. Amk1 contains a hydrophobic and a Gly-rich region at the N-terminu...
