- Drosophila.
Drosocin is
regulated by the NF-κB Imd
signalling pathway in the fly. The
Drosocin gene
encodes two peptides: its
namesake Drosocin peptide and...

encoded by the gene
Drosocin.
Flies lacking Drosocin are
highly susceptible to
Enterobacter cloacae infection. The
Drosocin gene
itself encodes two...
- rich in proline, arginine, phenylalanine, glycine,
tryptophan abaecin and

alongside other antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) such as cecropins, diptericin,

activity through O-glycosylation. Like the
antimicrobial peptides drosocin and abaecin,
pyrrhocoricin binds to the
bacterial protein DnaK, inhibiting...
