摘要：
Recently, an anionic proregion was found to be conserved at the C terminus of the antimicrobial peptide, nematode cecropin. Our results suggest that the antimicrobial activity of mature peptide is suppressed by the proregion in its precursor and is released from inhibition after processing. Inhibition is not likely to be due to direct suppression of membrane disruption.
