Megjegyzések:	Background The ShK toxin from Stichodactyla helianthus has established the therapeutic potential of sea anemone venom peptides, but many lineage-specific toxin families in Actiniarians remain uncharacterised. One such peptide family, sea anemone 8 (SA8), is present in all five sea anemone superfamilies. We explored the genomic arrangement and evolution of the SA8 gene family in Actinia tenebrosa and Telmatactis stephensoni, characterised the expression patterns of SA8 sequences, and examined the structure and function of SA8 from the venom of T. stephensoni. Results We identified ten SA8-family genes in two clusters and six SA8-family genes in five clusters for T. stephen- soni and A. tenebrosa, respectively. Nine SA8 T. stephensoni genes were found in a single cluster, and an SA8 peptide encoded by an inverted SA8 gene from this cluster was recruited to venom. We show that SA8 genes in both spe- cies are expressed in a tissue-specific manner and the inverted SA8 gene has a unique tissue distribution. While the functional activity of the SA8 putative toxin encoded by the inverted gene was inconclusive, its tissue localisation is similar to toxins used for predator deterrence. We demonstrate that, although mature SA8 putative toxins have similar cysteine spacing to ShK, SA8 peptides are distinct from ShK peptides based on structure and disulfide connectivity. Conclusions Our results provide the first demonstration that SA8 is a unique gene family in Actiniarians, evolving through a variety of structural changes including tandem and proximal gene duplication and an inversion event that together allowed SA8 to be recruited into the venom of T. stephensoni.

Megjegyzések:	Sea anemone venoms are complex mixtures of biologically active compounds, including disulfide-rich peptides, some of which have found applications as research tools, and others as therapeutic leads. Our recent transcriptomic and proteomic studies of the Australian sea anemone Telmatactis stephensoni identified a transcript for a peptide designated Tst2. Tst2 is a 38-residue peptide showing sequence similarity to peptide toxins known to interact with a range of ion channels (NaV, TRPV1, KV and CaV). Recombinant Tst2 (rTst2, which contains an additional Gly at the N-terminus) was produced by periplasmic expression in Escherichia coli, enabling the production of both unlabelled and uniformly 13C,15N?labelled peptide for functional assays and structural studies. The LC-MS profile of the recombinant Tst2 showed a pure peak with molecular mass 6 Da less than that of the reduced form of the peptide, indicating the successful formation of three disulfide bonds from its six cysteine residues. The solution structure of rTst2 was determined using multidimensional NMR spectroscopy and revealed that rTst2 adopts an inhibitor cystine knot (ICK) structure. rTst2 was screened using various functional assays, including patch?clamp electrophysiological and cytotoxicity assays. rTst2 was inactive against voltagegated sodium channels (NaV) and the human voltage-gated proton (hHv1) channel. rTst2 also did not possess cytotoxic activity when assessed against Drosophila melanogaster flies. However, the recombinant peptide at 100 nM showed >50% inhibition of the transient receptor potential subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) and slight (~10%) inhibition of transient receptor potential subfamily A member 1 (TRPA1). Tst2 is thus a novel ICK inhibitor of the TRPV1 channel.

Megjegyzések:	Diverse structural scaffolds have been described in peptides from sea anemones, with the ShKT domain being a common scaffold first identified in ShK toxin from Stichodactyla helianthus. ShK is a potent blocker of voltage-gated potassium channels (KV1.x), and an analog, ShK-186 (dalazatide), has completed Phase 1 clinical trials in plaque psoriasis. The ShKT domain has been found in numerous other species, but only a tiny fraction of ShKT domains has been characterized functionally. Despite adopting the canonical ShK fold, some ShKT peptides from sea anemones inhibit KV1.x, while others do not. Mutagenesis studies have shown that a Lys-Tyr (KY) dyad plays a key role in KV1.x blockade, although a cationic residue followed by a hydrophobic residue may also suffice. Nevertheless, ShKT peptides displaying an ShK-like fold and containing a KY dyad do not necessarily block potassium channels, so additional criteria are needed to determine whether new ShKT peptides might show activity against potassium channels. In this study, we used a combination of NMR and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to assess the potential activity of a new ShKT peptide. We determined the structure of ShKT-Ts1, from the sea anemone Telmatactis stephensoni, examined its tissue localization, and investigated its activity against a range of ion channels. As ShKT-Ts1 showed no activity against KV1.x channels, we used MD simulations to investigate whether solvent exposure of the dyad residues may be informative in rationalizing and potentially predicting the ability of ShKT peptides to block KV1.x channels. We show that either a buried dyad that does not become exposed during MD simulations, or a partially exposed dyad that becomes buried during MD simulations, correlates with weak or absent activity against KV1.x channels. Therefore, structure determination coupled with MD simulations, may be used to predict whether new sequences belonging to the ShKT family may act as potassium channel blockers.

Megjegyzések:	Upregulation of the voltage-gated potassium channel K(V)1.3 is implicated in a range of autoimmune and neuroinflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, and type I diabetes. Understanding the expression, localization, and trafficking of K(V)1.3 in normal and disease states is key to developing targeted immunomodulatory therapies. HsTX1[R14A], an analogue of a 34-residue peptide toxin from the scorpion Heterometrus spinifer, binds K(V)1.3 with high affinity (IC50 of 45 pM) and selectivity (2000-fold for K(V)1.3 over K(V)1.1). We have synthesized a fluorescent analogue of HsTX1[R14A] by N-terminal conjugation of a Cy5 tag. Electrophysiology assays show that Cy5-HsTX1[R14A] retains activity against K(V)1.3 (IC50 similar to 0.9 nM) and selectivity over a range of other potassium channels (K(V)1.2, K(V)1.4, K(V)1.5, K(V)1.6, K(Ca)1.1 and K(Ca)3.1), as well as selectivity against heteromeric channels assembled from K(V)1.3/K(V)1.5 tandem dimers. Live imaging of CHO cells expressing green fluorescent protein-tagged K(V)1.3 shows co-localization of Cy5-HsTX1[R14A] and K(V)1.3 fluorescence signals at the cell membrane. Moreover, flow cytometry demonstrated that Cy5-HsTX1[R14A] can detect K(V)1.3-expressing CHO cells. Stimulation of mouse microglia by lipopolysaccharide, which enhances membrane expression of K(V)1.3, was associated with increased staining by Cy5-HsTX1[R14A], demonstrating that it can be used to identify K(V)1.3 in disease-relevant models of inflammation. Furthermore, the biodistribution of Cy5-HsTX1[R14A] could be monitored using ex vivo fluorescence imaging of organs in mice dosed subcutaneously with the peptide. These results illustrate the utility of Cy5-HsTX1[R14A] as a tool for visualizing K(V)1.3, with broad applicability in fundamental investigations of K(V)1.3 biology, and the validation of novel disease indications where K(V)1.3 inhibition may be of therapeutic value.
