Biological Activity
IC50: 0.57 μM (MMP-2), 0.25 μM (MMP-9)[1]
Histatin 5 is a member of a family of low-molecular-weight salivary proteins secreted by parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. Using biotinylated gelatin as a substrate, Histatin 5 inhibits the activity of the host matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 with IC50s of 0.57 and 0.25 μM, respectively. To localize the domain responsible for this inhibition, three peptides containing different regions of Histatin 5 are synthesized and tested as inhibitors of MMP-9. Peptides comprising residues 1 to 14 and residues 4 to 15 of Histatin 5 show much lower inhibitory activities (IC50, 21.4 and 20.5 μM, respectively), while a peptide comprising residues 9 to 22 showed identical activity to Histatin 5 against MMP-9. Kinetic analysis of the inhibition of the Arg-gingipain reveals that Histatin 5 is a competitive inhibitor, affecting only the Km with a Ki of 15 μM[1]. Histatin 5 is an inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration.The human salivary antifungal peptide Histatin 5 is taken up by Candida albicans cells and associates intracellularly with mitochondria. Histatin 5 inhibits respiration of isolated C. albicans mitochondria as well as the respiration of intact blastoconidia in a dose and time-dependent manner. Histatin 5 at a concentration of 33 μM inhibits state 2 respiration[2].

Peptide Solubility and Storage Guidelines:
1. Calculate the length of the peptide.
2. Calculate the overall charge of the entire peptide according to the following table:
| Contents | Assign value | |
| Acidic amino acid | Asp (D), Glu (E), and the C-terminal -COOH. | -1 |
| Basic amino acid | Arg (R), Lys (K), His (H), and the N-terminal -NH2 | +1 |
| Neutral amino acid | Gly (G), Ala (A), Leu (L), Ile (I), Val (V), Cys (C), Met (M), Thr (T), Ser (S), Phe (F), Tyr (Y), Trp (W), Pro (P), Asn (N), Gln (Q) | 0 |
3. Recommended solution:
| Overall charge of peptide | Details |
| Negative (<0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2. If water fails, add NH4OH (<50 μL). 3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, add DMSO (50-100 μL) to solubilize the peptide. |
| Positive (>0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2. If water fails, try dissolving the peptide in a 10%-30% acetic acid solution. 3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO. |
| Zero (=0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in organic solvent (acetonitrile, methanol, etc.) first. 2. For very hydrophobic peptides, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO, and then dilute the solution with water to the desired concentration. |
