Antimicrobial peptides play a critical role in the barrier function of human skin. They offer a fast response to invading microorganisms and protect from external microbial infection. Here we show the isolation of the kallikrein-related peptidase inhibitor SPINK9 as a major antibacterial factor from healthy stratum corneum. In total, six N-terminal SPINK9 variants were identified in the stratum corneum. Whereas all variants exhibited similar inhibition activities against kallikrein-related peptidase, only three variants with either lysine or glutamine as their first N-terminal residues were able to kill various Escherichia coli strains, but not other bacteria or fungi. The killing activity also depended on the sequence essential for kallikrein-related peptidase inhibition. Ultrastructural electron microscopy analyses suggested that SPINK9 entered the cell and killed growing bacteria. A bacterial chaperone, SKP, was identified as the major SPINK9 interacting partner in E. coli cells. The Skpdeleted mutant was more sensitive to SPINK9 than the wild-type control, suggesting that the bactericidal activity of SPINK9 should first overcome the resistance from the bacterial chaperone SKP. Thus, SPINK9 is a member of epidermal antimicrobial peptides for selective killing of E. coli, which might contribute to the innate barrier function of human skin.

三氟乙酸（Trifluoroacetic acid，简称 TFA）是高效液相色谱（简称 HPLC）纯化过程中常用的反离子。TFA 的存在可能会对肽的净重量、外观及溶解度产生影响，具体如下：

对净重量的影响：TFA 盐会增加产物的总质量。在大多数情况下，肽的含量占总重量的 80% 以上，剩余部分则为 TFA。

对溶解度的影响：TFA 盐通常能提高肽在水溶液中的溶解度。

在生物检测中的影响：对于大多数标准的体外检测，残留的 TFA 水平一般不会造成干扰。但需注意，在高灵敏度的细胞研究或生化研究中，需关注其存在可能带来的影响。

干品多肽的重量中不仅仅包含多肽，还包含有一些非肽的组份，如水、被吸收的溶剂、配位离子和盐等。肽的净含量是指肽在其中的重量百分比，这个百分比的数值范围很大，可能从50%到90%，取决于纯度、序列以及合成和纯化的方法，不要将肽的净含量和肽的纯度混为一谈，他们是两个完全不同的概念。纯度通常是通过HPLC测定的。纯度定义的是多肽样品中含正确序列的组分的百分比，而肽的净含量是指样品中肽类物质相对于总物质所占的百分比，肽的净含量通常是氨基酸组分分析或紫外分光法测定的，这个信息主要是在一些对肽的浓度很敏感的实验中，对计算肽的浓度是很重要的。
