An antifungal protein (HM-af) was purified from the culinary-medicinal mushroom Hypsizygus marmoreus. The results of sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry of HM-af indicated that its molecular mass was 9.5 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of HM-af showed homology to ribonuclease H from Clostridium thermocellum. HM-af showed the antifungal activity against Flammulina velutipes.
