Abstract
Many antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have multiple antimicrobial immunity effects. One such class of peptides is temporins. Temporins are the smallest (AMPs) found in nature and are highly active against gram-positive bacteria. Nowadays, there was a rapid increase in the availability of the 3D structure of proteins in PDB (protein data bank). The conserved residues and 3D structural conformations of temporins (AMPs) were still unknown. The present study explores the sequence analysis, alpha-helical structural conformations of temporins. The sequence of temporins was deracinated from APD3 database, the three-dimensional structure was constructed by homology modeling studies. The sequence analysis results show that the conserved residues among the peptide sequences, the maximum of the sequences are 70% alike to each other. The secondary structure prediction results revealed that 99% of temporin (AMPs) exhibited in alpha-helical form. The 3D structure speculated using RAMPAGE exposes the alpha-helical conformation in all temporins (AMPs). The phylogenetic analysis reveals the evolutionary relationships of temporins (AMPs), which are branched into seven clusters. As a result, we identified a list of potential temporin AMPs which docked to the antiviral protein (MERS-CoV), it shows good protein-peptide binding. This computational approach may serve as a good model for the rationale design of temporin based antibiotics.

<abstract id="Abs1"><p id="Par1">Many antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have multiple antimicrobial immunity effects. One such class of peptides is temporins. Temporins are the smallest (AMPs) found in nature and are highly active against gram-positive bacteria. Nowadays, there was a rapid increase in the availability of the 3D structure of proteins in PDB (protein data bank). The conserved residues and 3D structural conformations of temporins (AMPs) were still unknown. The present study explores the sequence analysis, alpha-helical structural conformations of temporins. The sequence of temporins was deracinated from APD3 database, the three-dimensional structure was constructed by homology modeling studies. The sequence analysis results show that the conserved residues among the peptide sequences, the maximum of the sequences are 70% alike to each other. The secondary structure prediction results revealed that 99% of temporin (AMPs) exhibited in alpha-helical form. The 3D structure speculated using RAMPAGE exposes the alpha-helical conformation in all temporins (AMPs). The phylogenetic analysis reveals the evolutionary relationships of temporins (AMPs), which are branched into seven clusters. As a result, we identified a list of potential temporin AMPs which docked to the antiviral protein (MERS-CoV), it shows good protein-peptide binding. This computational approach may serve as a good model for the rationale design of temporin based antibiotics.</p>

<sec id="Sec2"><title>Antimicrobial Peptides</title>
<p id="Par2">Almost all multicellular organisms have AMPs to protect themselves from pathogenic microbes and acts as the first line of defence (Hancock and Chapple <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">1999</xref>
). AMPs are an integral part of the body's natural immune system which exhibits not only antimicrobial, anticancer, antitumor activity and but also displays immunomodulating properties (Zasloff <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR45">2002</xref>
). Majority of the mode of action studies performed using AMPs have cell membranes as their targets, and a variety of models have been proposed so far to explain the formation of membrane pores (Yeaman and Yount <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR44">2003</xref>
). The disruptive membrane models such as “barrel-stave,” (Melo et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">2009</xref>
) “toroidal pore” (Hof et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">2001</xref>
) or “carpet models” (Steiner et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">1988</xref>
) provide a deeper insight into the interaction of amphipathic alpha-helical peptides with lipid bilayers, which are often referred as molecular electroporation (Matsuzaki <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">1999</xref>
). The variations in cell membrane lipid composition of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms form as the primary targets for AMPs. The specificity of AMPs to the target cells relies upon the peptides favourable interaction with the microbial targets, which allow them to lyse a specific cell without affecting the host cells (Hancock et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">2006</xref>
). Net charge, amphipathicity, and hydrophobicity of AMPs also play a crucial role in the association of these peptides to target cellular membranes from exerting antimicrobial activity. Diverse antimicrobial peptides have been reported from various ecological components such as plants, mammals, insects, and invertebrates. Currently, more than 2838 AMPs have been deposit in the antimicrobial peptide database.</p>

<sec id="Sec3"><title>Temporins</title>
<p id="Par3">The temporins are small (10 to 14 amino acid residues), linear (AMPs) with a net cationic charge and an amidated C-terminus. These peptide classes are collectively known as temporins and have shown the highest activity among AMPs studied till date, against both human erythrocytes and bacterial strains. The mode of action of AMPs against bacterial cells has been extensively identified and documented; their antiviral functions were not fully understood (Skalickova et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">2015</xref>
). Recent findings have suggested the efficacy of various classes of AMPs and their specific mode of action against viral pathogens and the potential use of these AMPs as an antiviral therapy (Marcocci et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">2018</xref>
; Ahmed et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">2019</xref>
).</p>
<p id="Par4">Due to the membranolytic effects of temporins, the pathogens were difficult to develop resistance. Therefore, temporins are prospective aspirants for the design of imminent antiviral drugs with an innovative approach However, there is no structural information is available for the temporins family of AMPs. Therefore, we investigated the in silico structural information and protein-peptide interactions of temporins AMPs against MERS-CoV. These in silico findings are thought to help designing new types of peptide based antiviral drugs.</p>

<sec id="Sec4"><title>Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus (MERS-CoV)</title>
<p id="Par5">In 2012, MERS-CoV was recognized in Saudi Arabia and belongs to the Coronaviridae family, mostly reported among the individuals of the Middle East (Milne-Price et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">2014</xref>
). MERS-CoV protein is a main target for therapeutic development to obstruct membrane fusion and viral entry (Du et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">2017</xref>
). Since, there is no effective therapeutics for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and this research attempts to find using peptide therapeutics by establishing a basis for the protein-peptide interactions through molecular docking analysis for the antiviral protein MERS-CoV.</p>

<p id="Par6">Temporin family of (AMPs) was chosen for the present study. The amino acid sequence of (AMPs)belonging to the entire temporin family was retrieved from the APD3 antimicrobial database (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://aps.unmc.edu/AP/">https://aps.unmc.edu/AP/</ext-link>

, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR42">2016</xref>
; Wang and Wang <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">2004</xref>

; Zimmermann et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR47">2018</xref>
). Followed by performing Multiple sequence alignment (MSA), the temporin family was clustered based on sequence similarity. MMseqs2 and CD-Hit were used (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://weizhongli-lab.org/cdhit_suite/cgi-bin/index.cgi">https://weizhongli-lab.org/cdhit_suite/cgi-bin/index.cgi</ext-link>

). Among the clustered peptides the conserved residues were determined using Weblogo (Crooks et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">2004</xref>
). The secondary structure prediction for the entire temporin family of peptides was performed to achieve the homology modeling. Further, the biofilm active temporin peptides were also predicted using the dPABBs module (Sharma et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">2016</xref>
). The half-life of the peptides was identified using the HLP, a server for predicting half-life of peptides (Sharma et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">2014</xref>

<sec id="Sec7"><title>Homology Modelling of Temporin AMPs</title>
<p id="Par7">The structural similarity of the sequences was performed using BLASTp search and the templates with similar structures in the PDB database were retrieved. Among the chosen 121 (AMPs) of temporins, 120 peptides were 3D-modelled using Modeller software Version: 9.14 and PEP-FOLD for obtaining the three-dimensional structure of the peptides. The structure of one of the temporin peptide (PDB ID: 2MAA) is retrieved from protein databank structure (Sali and Blundell <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">1993</xref>

<sec id="Sec10"><title>Results and Discussions</title>
<sec id="Sec11"><title>Sequence and its Physicochemical Properties</title>
<p id="Par10">The amino acid sequence of temporin AMPs are listed from various Rana’s family, and these AMPs are showing high hydrophobicity and positive net charge (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
). Temporin AMPs sequence fasta file supplementary 1. The source and physicochemical properties of temporin AMPs were listed in Supplementary file 2. Most of the temporin AMPs are having more than 50% hydrophobicity (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
a), some of the temporin peptides (tem_hb1 ‘FLPLLAGLAAKWF’, tem_sh1 ‘FFFLSRIF’ and tem_1gd ‘FILPLIASFLSKFL’) has highest hydrophobicity percentage. In most cases, the hydrophobicity, length, net charges and other physicochemical parameters determined the antimicrobial activity of a peptide. In specific the hydrophobicity and charge of a peptide are critical factors determine the potency of an (AMPs) Any increase or decrease in the hydrophobicity index is directly proportional to the cationicity of a peptide. Most often the higher cationicity is attributing to greater binding efficiency, which results in effective binding of peptide over the bacterial surface (Malanovic and Lohner <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">2016</xref>
). Once after binding the peptide takes its desired path to exert its action mechanism (Lee et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">2002</xref>
), while a decrease in hydrophobicity can reduce antimicrobial potency of the peptide (Kustanovich et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">2002</xref>
). During the synthesis of novel peptides, hydrophobicity is one of the perilous factors, for determining the range of target cells of AMP. Increasing the hydrophobicity of an AMP can alter the prospect of targets (Bahar and Ren <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">2013</xref>
).<fig id="Fig1"><label>Fig. 1</label>

</fig>
</p>
<p id="Par11">The net charge of all temporin AMPs contains a positive charge, and the average net charge is 2 (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
b). The selected AMPs of the net charge accounts for the ionizable groups of the peptide, resulting in the divergence from negative to positive and vice versa, which is the foremost constituent for the initial interaction with negatively charged cell membranes. The average length of the temporin AMPs is 13 residues. The length of an AMP is also a factor that attributes to the bioactivity of a peptide. A minimum of 7–8 amino acids are needed to form amphipathic structures with the hydrophobic and hydrophilic face on the opposite side of a peptide molecule (Zelezetsky and Tossi <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">2006</xref>
). The overall height of the amino acids in (Fig. <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>
) indicates the conserved residues at that position. We identified that non-polar amino acids like phenylalanine, proline, leucine, shows the conserved among the temporin AMPs.<fig id="Fig2"><label>Fig. 2</label>

<p id="Par12">Sequence alignment of temporins AMPs represents the conserved residues among the peptide sequences, most of the temporin sequences are 70% similar to each other. The secondary structure prediction between the peptides shows the alpha helix and beta sheets, 98% of temporin AMPs exhibit alpha helical form. Some of the temporins display activity against the microbial biofilms, which are highlighted by grey colour shading (Fig. <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>
). From time to time, biofilms form a physical defense to protect bacteria from antibiotics.This might be due to slow development and reduced metabolic activity of a bacteria in such a population, the use of AMPs to inhibit biofilm formation could potentially be an efficient therapeutic option. In fact, due to the prevalent mechanism of action of AMPs, that depends on their ability to permeabilize or form pores within plasma membranes, they also have a strong capacity to act on increasing bacteria.(Batoni et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">2011</xref>
).A recent study on temporin anti-microbial peptides demonstrated significant anti-HSV-1 activity which was equivalent to that of Human cathelicidin LL-37 and a temporin synthetic analogue [K3]SHa. In addition, the study had emphasized its direct-acting mechanism for elimination of HSV-1(Roy et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">2019</xref>
). In an another in vitro anti-HSV-1 study using temporin B (TB), significant antiviral activity was observed which had resulted in a 5-log reduction of the viral titer. The disruption of the viral envelope was also confirmed upon observation using a transmission electron microscopy. Further, the TB was found to disturb the HSV-1 life cycle in different phases, including the attachment, entry into the host cell, and post-infection stage (Marcocci et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">2018</xref>
).<fig id="Fig3"><label>Fig. 3</label>

<sec id="Sec12"><title>Homology Modeling of Temporin AMPs and its Validation</title>
<p id="Par13">Homology models of temporin AMPs have been constructed successfully for the identification of structural information. The result of all temporin peptides shows the α-helical conformation in modelled structures, which is an important class of AMPs holding higher amphipathicity. Moreover, the α-helical conformation allows effective interaction with biological membranes (Huang et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">2010a</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">b</xref>
). The modelled 3D structures of 120 temporins (AMPs) evaluated using RAMPAGE helps to interpret the allowing and disallowing regions, which declares the evaluation of peptide structures in Supplementary file 3.</p>

<sec id="Sec13"><title>Evolutionary Relationship and Recognition of Half-Life of Temporin AMPs</title>
<p id="Par14">We have constructed a phylogeny tree of all the 121 temporin AMPs (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>

), and it's a robust statistical foundation that allows comparison of different trees, parameters and models. Based on the phylogenetic tree (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>
), the temporin peptide sequences classified into five clades (CLADE A, CLADE B, CLADE C, CLADE D, and CLADE E). Each clade node represents the individual colour to which the branched group has been recognized (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>

<sec id="Sec15"><title>Conclusion</title>
<p id="Par18">In this present study, we have interpreted the sequence, modelled 3D structures, evolutionary relationship and docking studies with antiviral protein (MERS-CoV) of temporin AMPs through a homology modeling, phylogeny tree construction and protein peptide docking. The 3D structural of temporin antimicrobial peptides successfully predicted and results shows the alpha-helical structural diversity among the peptides. Phylogenetic analysis exposes that all temporin peptides are 70% evolutionary similar to each other. Some of the temporin peptides like tem_a and high scored half-life temporin peptides were docked to MERS-CoV protein, and results shows good interaction with the antiviral protein. These observations reinforce the idea that temporin AMPs may serve as a new therapeutic application for the future development. Furthermore, the findings reported above are preliminary and will certainly require experimental evaluation through in vitro and in vivo studies, which are crucial for their development into therapeutic targets against MERS-CoV.</p>
