- Sticholysins I and II (St I and St II) are cytolysins produced by the sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus. In spite of their 93% sequence homology, St II is more hemolytic against human erythrocytes than St 1. In order to establish the possible causes of this difference, we studied the hemolytic activity of synthetic peptides containing sequences from the N-termini of both proteins. The results demonstrated that the differences in hemolytic activity of the toxins could be ascribed at least partly to differences in their N-termini. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
