Journal ArticleDOI
Oxyopinins, Large Amphipathic Peptides Isolated from the Venom of the Wolf Spider Oxyopes kitabensis with Cytolytic Properties and Positive Insecticidal Cooperativity with Spider Neurotoxins
Gerardo Corzo,Elba Villegas,Froylan Gómez-Lagunas,Lourival D. Possani,Belokoneva Os,Terumi Nakajima +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the linear amphipathic peptides in spider venoms and neuropeptides cooperate to capture insects efficiently.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteomic analysis of the venom from the scorpion Tityus stigmurus: Biochemical and physiological comparison with other Tityus species ☆
Cesar Vicente Ferreira Batista,Sergio A. Román-González,Saida Patricia Salas-Castillo,Fernando Z. Zamudio,Froylan Gómez-Lagunas,Lourival D. Possani +5 more
TL;DR: A correlation among HPLC retention times and molecular masses of folded scorpion toxins as well as a comparative structural and physiological analysis of components from the venom of several species of the genus Tityus are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Brazilian scorpion Tityus costatus Karsch: genes, peptides and function.
Elia Diego-García,Cesar Vicente Ferreira Batista,Blanca I. García-Gómez,Sylvia M. Lucas,Denise Maria Candido,Froylan Gómez-Lagunas,Lourival D. Possani +6 more
TL;DR: Stings by scorpions of the species Tityus costatus should be taken with caution by medical doctors, and some of these peptides and genes are similar to other known scorpion toxins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteomic analysis of Tityus discrepans scorpion venom and amino acid sequence of novel toxins
Cesar Vicente Ferreira Batista,Gina D'Suze,Gina D'Suze,Froylan Gómez-Lagunas,Fernando Z. Zamudio,Sergio Encarnación,Carlos Sevcik,Carlos Sevcik,Lourival D. Possani +8 more
TL;DR: Comparative analysis of the amino acid sequences found suggests that this venom contains peptides highly similar to those that block K+ channels, as well as those that modify the gating mechanisms of Na+annels, found in other scorpions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel structural class of K+-channel blocking toxin from the scorpion Pandinus imperator
TL;DR: Three-dimensional modelling showed that is it possible to accommodate the four disulphide bridges in the same general structure of the other K+-channel blocking peptides, and the new peptide (Pil) blocks Shaker B K+ channels reversibly.
