High-throughput production of two disulphide-bridge toxins.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A quick and efficient production method compatible with high-throughput screening was developed using 36 toxins belonging to four different families of two disulphide-bridge toxins. Final toxins were characterized using HPLC co-elution, CD and pharmacological studies.

High-throughput expression of animal venom toxins in Escherichia coli to generate a large library of oxidized disulphide-reticulated peptides for drug discovery
BACKGROUND Animal venoms are complex molecular cocktails containing a wide range of biologically active disulphide-reticulated peptides that target, with high selectivity and efficacy, a variety of membrane receptors. Disulphide-reticulated peptides have evolved to display improved specificity, low immunogenicity and to show much higher resistance to degradation than linear peptides. These prop...
متن کاملMolecular Docking Simulation of Short-Chain Four Disulphide Bridged Scorpion Toxins with Structural Model of Human Voltage-Gated Potassium Ion Channel Kv1.3
We report structural model of the human voltage-gated potassium ion channel Kv1.3 obtained based on the crystallographic structure of KcsA by homology modeling. Molecular docking simulations were performed between the model structure of Kv1.3 channel with three short-chain four disulphide bridged scorpion toxins HsTX1 from the venom of Heterometrus spinnifer (Scorpionidae), maurotoxin (MTX) fro...
متن کاملStudy on destruction of extracted toxins from isolated Cyanobacteria using titanium dioxide
Cyanobacteria are major group of microorganism with capability to produce different types of toxin. Indeed, anthropogenic eutrophication of surface water is the main reason for acceleration of their growth and ecological problems. Therefore, the present study tried to isolate toxic cyanobacteria from Kor River, Fars province. For this purpose, 18 water samples were collected from three sampling...
متن کاملChloroplast thioredoxin mutants without active-site cysteines facilitate the reduction of the regulatory disulphide bridge on the gamma-subunit of chloroplast ATP synthase.
The activity of the chloroplast H+-ATPase (CFoCF1) is regulated by the proton electrochemical membrane potential and the reduction or the formation of the disulphide bridge on the gamma-subunit mediated by chloroplast thioredoxins (Trx). The latter regulation also applies to the water-soluble portion of CFoCF1 (CF1) and includes two successive steps, namely the binding of Trx to CF1 and the sub...
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...
