Cnidarian Toxins Acting on Voltage-Gated Ion Channels
Voltage-gated ion channels generate electrical activity in excitable cells. As such, they are essential components of neuromuscular and neuronal systems, and are targeted by toxins from a wide variety of phyla, including the cnidarians. Here, we review cnidarian toxins known to target voltage-gated ion channels, the specific channel types targeted, and, where known, the sites of action of cnida...
متن کاملStructural features common to intracellularly acting toxins from bacteria.
This mini-review focuses on structural features shared by bacterial intracellularly-acting toxins. These complex proteins adopt an A(n)B(m) assembly. B(m) is a cellular-uptake machinery that delivers the enzymatic A(n) component, where it specifically modifies an intracellular eukaryotic cell target. In this nomenclature, the m index reflects the mono- or oligomeric (homo or hetero) state of th...
متن کاملDiversity of folds in animal toxins acting on ion channels.
Animal toxins acting on ion channels of excitable cells are principally highly potent short peptides that are present in limited amounts in the venoms of various unrelated species, such as scorpions, snakes, sea anemones, spiders, insects, marine cone snails and worms. These toxins have been used extensively as invaluable biochemical and pharmacological tools to characterize and discriminate be...

متن کاملActing Up or Opting Out? Truancy in Irish Secondary Schools
This paper explores the way in which truancy levels are structured by individual social class and the social mix of the school within the Republic of Ireland. Drawing on a national survey of young people, truancy levels are found to be higher among working-class and Traveller students. Truancy is more prevalent in predominantly working-class schools, mainly because young people see them as less...
