Because defensins are cationic (positively charged), they are able to interact with negatively charged molecules on the surface of microbes and permeate their membranes.
4. This is also consistent with the suggestion, made in a recent report showing that cystic fibrosis isolates of P. aeruginosa had lipid A isoforms derivatized with aminoarabinose (or palmitate), that these structural modifications could enhance resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides [ 61 ] . Although the acyl chains of lipid A might also provide alternative binding sites for protegrin, the orientation of lipid A on the HPA sensor chip ("butter-side down") probably removes them from consideration, at least under our study conditions.

4B) shifted from approximately -24 mV in the initial state to about -4 mV in the activated state, consistent with the activation of a non-selective cationic conductance permeable to both Na +and K +. Similar results were observed for other SNP-activated oocytes (n = 5), as well as for AQP1-expressing oocytes activated by prior incubation in 10 mM 8Br-cGMP (as described in [ 11 ] ). In AQP1-expressing oocytes, the conductance induced by 8Br-cGMP in control Na +saline did not change significantly [(+) 11.
