Abstract

A novel peptide was isolated from the skin secretion of Chinese large odorous frog, Odorrana livida, and was named as Rana-BI. The cDNA sequencing was obtained by 'shotgun' cloning. The amino acid sequence of the mature peptide was identified as Gly-Leu-Leu-Ser-Gly-Lys-Ser-Val-Lys-Gly-Ser-Ile-OH by automated Edman degradation, and the molecular weight of the peptide was confirmed to be 1144.68 Da by MALDI-TOF and liquid chromatography/MS. Subsequently, the bioactivity of synthetic peptide was evaluated by smooth muscle assay using isolated rat bladder preparation. It was demonstrated that Rana-BI inhibited the contraction of rat bladder induced by bradykinin. Comparing with other peptides by searching from database, the primary structure of Rana-BI showed high similarity with that of an antimicrobial peptide of Rana family (12/12 residues). These data revealed a novel biological function of this peptide
