摘要:
Honeybee venom is a complex mixture of toxic components, including major royal jelly protein (MRJP) 8 and 9. MRJP 8 and MRJP 9 are allergens, and MRJP 8 reduces melittin-induced cell apoptosis. However, their func-tional roles are poorly understood, and their antimicrobial activities have not been determined. In this study, the antimicrobial role of MRJP 8 and MRJP 9 of honeybee (Apis mellifera) venom (AmMRJP 8 and AmMRJP 9) was demonstrated. The presence of AmMRJP 8 and AmMRJP 9 in the secreted venom was observed using antibodies against recombinant AmMRJP 8 and AmMRJP 9 produced in baculovirus-infected insect cells. Recombinant AmMRJP 8 and AmMRJP 9 exhibited an inhibitory activity against microbial serine proteases. Consistent with their inhibitory activity, they induced structural damage by binding to microbial surfaces, resulting in a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi. They had little effect on hemolysis. Therefore, AmMRJP 8 and AmMRJP 9 could function as antimicrobial agents in honeybee venom.
