Abstract
A dimeric 34-kDa antifungal protein, designated as acafusin, was purified from Acacia confusa seeds using Q-Sepharose, DEAE-cellulose, Mono S and Superdex S75. It demonstrated antifungal activity toward Rhizoctonia solani with an IC50 of 28 μM. Acafusin inhibited the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase mildly with an IC50 of 80 μM.
