Supplementary information

Neutrophil defensin 4 also known as human neutrophil peptide 4 (HNP-4) is a small antimicrobial peptide with a mass of approximately 3.5 kDa. It belongs to the defensin family and is specifically expressed in neutrophils a type of white blood cell important for the immune response. Neutrophil defensin 4 helps in the direct killing of microbes by disrupting their cell membranes. It accumulates in the azurophilic granules of neutrophils and releases during phagocytosis to provide its antimicrobial effects.
Biological function summary

Neutrophil defensin 4 plays a role in the innate immune system providing a first line of defense against bacterial fungal and some viral pathogens. It is not part of a larger protein complex but works independently through its peptide structure. The defensins including neutrophil defensin 4 are unique due to their ability to act directly on microbial surfaces which limits the development of resistance in these pathogens. This peptide binds to microbial membranes and forms pore-like structures that compromise cell integrity.

Pathways

Neutrophil defensin 4 is involved in the immune response pathway specifically as part of the innate immunity process. It associates with other antimicrobial peptides like defensin alpha 1 and defensin beta 1 to enhance the microbicidal activity of neutrophils. Additionally it intersects with inflammatory signaling pathways by modulating the activity of cytokines and chemokines contributing to immune cell recruitment during infection.

Neutrophil defensin 4 has connections to cystic fibrosis and inflammatory bowel disease. In cystic fibrosis the altered expression and function of neutrophil defensin 4 and related peptides like beta defensins may contribute to persistent bacterial infections in the lungs due to a compromised mucosal barrier. In inflammatory bowel disease imbalances in neutrophil defensin 4 levels can exacerbate intestinal inflammation and mucosal damage with interactions noted between defensin expression and cytokines like interleukin-8 that lead to inflammation.

Target data

Host-defense peptide that has antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, and to a lesser extent also against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi (PubMed : 15317502, PubMed : 15616305, PubMed : 2500436, PubMed : 2501794, PubMed : 30658057). Exhibits antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative E.coli and E.aerogenes and Gram-positive S.faecalis, S.aureus and B.cereus and the yeast C.albicans (in vitro) (PubMed : 15317502, PubMed : 15616305, PubMed : 17088326, PubMed : 2500436, PubMed : 2501794, PubMed : 30658057). Interacts with pathogenic surface proteins and toxins, such as HIV-1 surface protein gp120 and B.anthracis anthrax lethal factor lef (PubMed : 15620707, PubMed : 30658057). Protects blood cells against infection with HIV-1 (in vitro) (PubMed : 15620707). Inhibits enzymatic activity of B.anthracis lef/anthrax lethal factor (in vitro) (PubMed : 30658057). Inhibits corticotropin (ACTH)-stimulated corticosterone production (in vitro) (PubMed : 2843187).
