A novel conotoxin inhibiting vertebrate voltage-sensitive potassium channels.

Toxins from cone snail (Conus species) venoms are multiple disulfide bonded peptides. Based on their pharmacological target (ion channels, receptors) and their disulfide pattern, they have been classified into several toxin families and superfamilies. Here, we report a new conotoxin, which is the first member of a structurally new superfamily of Conus peptides and the first conotoxin affecting vertebrate K+ channels. The new toxin, designated conotoxin ViTx, has been isolated from the venom of Conus virgo and comprises a single chain of 35 amino acids cross-linked by four disulfide bridges. Its amino acid sequence (SRCFPPGIYCTSYLPCCWGICCSTCRNVCHLRIGK) was partially determined by Edman degradation and deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the toxin cDNA. Nucleic acid sequencing also revealed a prepropeptide comprising 67 amino acid residues and demonstrated a posttranslational modification of the protein by releasing a six-residue peptide from the C-terminal. Voltage clamp studies on various ion channels indicated that the toxin inhibits the vertebrate K+ channels Kv1.1 and Kv1.3 but not Kv1.2. The chemically synthesized product exhibited the same physiological activity and identical molecular mass (3933.7 Da) as the native toxin.

Cloning, distribution and functional analysis of the type III sodium channel from human brain

The type III voltage-gated sodium channel was cloned from human brain. The full-length cDNA has 89% identity with rat type III, and the predicted protein (1951 amino acids) has 55 differences. The expression pattern of human type III mRNA was determined in adult brain tissue and, in contrast to rat, was detected in many regions, including caudate nucleus, cerebellum, hippocampus and frontal lobe. The human type III channel was stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and its biophysical properties compared to the human type II channel using identical conditions. The voltage dependence and kinetics of activation were found to be similar to that of type II. The kinetics of inactivation of the two human subtypes were also similar. However, type III channels inactivated at more hyperpolarized potentials and were slower to recover from inactivation than type II. When expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK293T) cells, type III channels produced currents with a prominent persistent component, which were similar to those reported for rat type II [Ma et al. (1997) Neuron, 19, 443-452]. However, unlike type II, this was prominent even in the absence of coexpressed G-proteins, suggesting type III may adopt this gating mode more readily. The distinct properties of the channel, together with its wide distribution in adult brain, suggest that in humans, type III may have important physiological roles under normal, and perhaps also pathological conditions.     

Pharmacological and structural characterization of a novel phospholipase A2 from Micrurus dumerilii carinicauda venom.

We have isolated a new phospholipase A2 (MiDCA1) from the venom of the coral snake Micrurus dumerilii carinicauda. This toxin, which had a molecular mass of 15,552Da, shared high sequence homology with the PLA2 toxins MICNI A and B from Micrurus nigrocinctus venom (77.7% and 73.1%, respectively). In chick biventer cervicis preparations, MiDCA1 produced concentration- and time-dependent neuromuscular blockade that reached 100% after 120 min (2.4 microM, n = 6); contractures to exogenously applied carbachol (8 microM) and KCl (13 mM) were still seen after complete blockade. In mouse phrenic-nerve diaphragm preparations, MiDCA1 (2.4 microM; n = 6) caused triphasic changes followed by partial neuromuscular blockade. Intracellular recordings of end-plate potentials (EPPs) and miniature end-plate potentials (MEPPs) from mouse diaphragm preparations showed that MiDCA1 increased the quantal content by 386+/-12% after 10 min (n = 14; p<0.05) and caused a triphasic change in the frequency of MEPPs. MiDCA1 also decreased the resting membrane potential, an effect that was prevented by tetrodotoxin and/or low extracellular calcium, but not by d-tubocurarine. The toxin increased the amplitude of mouse sciatic-nerve compound action potentials by 30+/-9% (0.6 microM; p<0.05). Potassium currents elicited in freshly dissociated dorsal root ganglia neurones were blocked by 31+/-1% (n = 4; p<0.05) in the presence of 2.4 microM MiDCA1. These results show that MiDCA1 is a new presynaptic phospholipase A2 that produces neuromuscular blockade in vertebrate nerve-muscle preparations. The triphasic effects seen in mammalian preparations and the facilitatory response were probably caused mainly by the activation of sodium channels, complemented by the blockade of nerve terminal potassium channels. The inability of d-turocurarine to prevent the depolarization by MiDCA1 indicated that cholinergic nicotinic receptors were not involved in this phenomenon.

碘化N-正丁基氟哌啶醇对豚鼠心房肌细胞乙酰胆碱敏感性钾通道的影响

目的研究碘化N正丁基氟哌啶醇(F2)对豚鼠心房肌细胞乙酰胆碱敏感性钾通道(KACh)的影响,探讨其对KACh的作用机制。方法采用膜片钳全细胞记录方法,测定F2对原代培养的豚鼠心房肌细胞乙酰胆碱敏感性钾电流IK(ACh)的影响。结果细胞外给予F2对豚鼠心房肌细胞IK(ACh)呈可逆性、浓度依赖性的阻断作用。细胞内添入抗水解的GTP类似物GTPγS后,结果同前。细胞内给予50μmol·L-1F2对IK(ACh)无作用。结论F2是豚鼠心房肌细胞KACh的一种快速通道阻断剂,发挥作用部位在细胞膜外侧,作用位点在钾通道本身,与乙酰胆碱受体无关。     

内皮素对慢性低氧大鼠肺动脉平滑肌细胞膜钾通道活性的影响

目的观察内皮素(ET-1)对慢性低氧大鼠肺动脉平滑肌细胞(PASMCs)膜电压门控钾通道(K_V)活性的影响。方法将12只Wistar大鼠随机分为对照组和慢性低氧组，每组6只。用全细胞膜片钳记录方法研究ET-1对两组大鼠PASMCs膜电位(E_m)、膜电容(C_m)及电压门控钾电流(IK_V)的影响。结果ET-1可引起两组大鼠PASMCs去极化，且对两组大鼠IK_V均有明显的浓度依赖性抑制作用。在慢性低氧组，高浓度ET-1对IK_V的抑制作用强于对照组。结论低氧并未改变ET-1引起PASMCs去极化及浓度依赖性抑制IK_V的特性，且慢性低氧可能改变了PASMCs对ET-1的敏感性，内皮素和低氧对PASMCs IK_V的抑制作用有协同性。
