The hemoglobin (Hb) is identified in Tegillarca granosa and its derived peptides have been proved to possess antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In this study, we identified a series of novel antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and artificially mutated AMPs derived from subunits of T. granosa Hbs, among which, a mutant T. granosa hemoglobin peptide (m Tg HbP) m Tg HbP7, was proved to possess predominant antibacterial activity against three bacteria strains ( Vibrio alginolyticus , V. parahaemolyticus and Escherichia coli ). Besides, m Tg HbP7 was predicted to form α-helical structure, which was known to be an important feature of bactericidal AMPs. Furthermore, upon contact with HEK293 cell line, we confirmed that m Tg HbP7 had no cytotoxicity to mammalian cell even at a high concentration of 160 μM. Therefore, the findings reported here provide a rationalization for antimicrobial peptide prediction and optimization from mollusk hemoglobin, which will be useful for future development of antimicrobial agents. • A series of antimicrobial peptides ( Tg HbP1-6) derived from hemoglobin in Tegillarca granosa were identified. • m Tg HbP7 was obtained by artificially mutation of Tg HbP2, possessing superior antibacterial effect. • m Tg HbP7 exerted no cytotoxicity to mammalian cell.
