Abstract
In this work we purified, characterized and evaluated the in vitro effect on fungi of a new peptide from coffee, named Cc-GRP, which is involved in the plant defense system against pathogens by acting through a membrane permeabilization mechanism and localized in the nuclei of fungal cells. We also showed, for the first time, the intracellular localization of Cc-GRP during antimicrobial assay.
