Protegrin-4 (PG-4) is a member of the porcine leukocyte protegrins family of cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) isolated from Sus scrofa. It consists of 18 amino acid residues and works as a part of innate immune system. In this study, we examined the intrinsic aggregation propensity of this AMP using multiple computational algorithms, namely, TANGO, AGGRESCAN, FOLDAMYLOID, AMYLPRED, and ZYGGREGATOR, and found that the peptide is predicted to have a high propensity for the β sheet formation that disposes this peptide to be amyloidogenic. Under in vitro conditions, PG-4 formed visible aggregates and displayed the hallmark properties of typical amyloids such as enhanced binding of Cong... More
