Amolopins comprise a family of antimicrobial peptides isolated from skin secretions of the rufous-spotted torrent frog, Amolops loloensis (Wang et al, 2008). These peptides are 18 amino acids in length and do not show similarity to any known peptides.
Amolopin P1 is NILSSIVNGINRALSFFG (Wang et al, 2008)
Amolopin P2 is NVLSSVANGINRALSFFG (Wang et al, 2008)
Among the tested microorganisms, native and synthetic peptides only show antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC2592 and Bacillus pumilus. The have no effects on other microorganisms. The precursors of amolopin are composed of 62 amino acid residues including predicted
