Two antifungal peptides with novel N-terminal sequences, designated cicerin and arietin were isolated from seeds of the chickpea (Cicer arietinum), respectively. Both peptides were adsorbed on Affi-gel blue gel and CM-Sepharose and exhibited a molecular weight of approximately 8.2 and 5.6 kDa, respectively. Arietin was more strongly adsorbed on CM-Sepharose than cicerin and manifested a higher translation-inhibiting activity in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system and a higher antifungal potency toward Mycosphaerella arachidicola, Fusarium oxysporum and Botrytis cinerea. Both were devoid of mitogenic and anti-HIV-1 reverse transcriptase activities.
