Fig. 2

Putative 3D structures of BuBDs. The class-A BuBDs were modelled on the available structures of BDs, in the protein data bank (PDB), using the SWISS-MODEL server. BuBD-125,126 and 132 were modelled on human beta defensin 6, hBD6 (2lwl.1.a), BuBD-127 on hBD4 (5ki9.1.A), BuBD-128 on hBD1 (1kj5.1.a) and BuBD-129 on the bovine neutrophil defensin BNBD (1bnb.1.a) All the defensins possess the characteristic β-fold despite the low homology amongst orthologs
