General annotation (Comments)

Function

Probably participates in a plant defense mechanism. Has antibiotic activity. Has a diuretic effect. Has a uterotonic effect in humans. Active against the Gram-positive S. aureus with a minimum inhibition concentration of approximately 0.2 microM. Relatively ineffective against Gram-negative bacteria such as E.coli and P.aeruginosa. Inhibitory effect on the growth and development of larvae from H.punctigera. The unmodified form has hemolytic activity, the oxidized form lacks hemolytic activity. If the protein is linearized, hemolytic activity is lost.

Tissue specificity

Leaves and stems. Lower in roots.

Domain

The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot' structurally defines this protein as a knottin.

Post-translational modification

Kalata-B1 is a cyclic peptide which occurs in three forms: with unmodified Trp-111, with Trp-111 oxidized to form oxindolylalanine and with Trp-111 oxidized to form N-formylkynurenine. Oxidation is enhanced by exposure to sunlight.

Pharmaceutical use

The uteroactive properties of Kalata have been discovered by African traditional medicine. It is used as an ingredient of an herbal tea to accelerate child birth.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the cyclotide family. Moebius subfamily.
