Cím:Anuroctoxin, a new scorpion toxin of the alpha-KTx 6 subfamily, is highly selective for Kv1.3 over IKCa1 ion channels of human T lymphocytes / Bagdany, M., Batista, C. V. F., Valdez-Cruz, N.

Megjegyzések:The physiological function of T lymphocytes can be modulated selectively by peptide toxins acting on Kv1.3 K(+) channels. Because Kv1.3-specific peptide toxins are considered to have a significant therapeutic potential in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, the discovery of new toxins is highly motivated. Through chromatographic procedures and electrophysiological assays, using patch-clamp methodology, the isolation of a novel peptide named anuroctoxin was accomplished using the venom of the Mexican scorpion Anuroctonus phaiodactylus. It has 35 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 4082.8, tightly bound by four disulfide bridges whose complete covalent structure was determined. It has a pyroglutamic acid at the N-terminal region and an amidated C-terminal residue. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic clustering analysis classifies anuroctoxin into subfamily 6 of the alpha-KTx scorpion toxins (systematic name, alpha-KTx 6.12). Patch-clamp experiments show that anuroctoxin is a high-affinity blocker of Kv1.3 channels of human T lymphocytes with a K(d) of 0.73 nM, and it does not block the Ca(2+)-activated IKCa1 K(+) channels. These two channels play different but important roles in T-lymphocyte activation. Furthermore, the toxin practically does not inhibit Shaker IR, mKv1.1, and rKv2.1 channels, whereas the affinity of anuroctoxin for hKv1.2 is almost an order of magnitude smaller than for Kv1.3. The pharmacological profile and the selectivity of this new toxin for Kv1.3 over IKCa1 may provide an important tool for the modulation of the immune system, especially in cases in which selective inhibition of Kv1.3 is required.

Cím:Two novel toxins from the Amazonian scorpion Tityus cambridgei that block Kv1.3 and Shaker B K(+)-channels with distinctly different affinities / Cesar V. F. Batista, Froylan Gómez-Lagunas, Ricardo C. Rodriguez de la Vega, Péter Hajdu, György Panyi, Rezső Gáspár, Lourival D. Possani

Megjegyzések:Two novel toxic peptides (Tc30 and Tc32) were isolated and characterized from the venom of the Brazilian scorpion Tityus cambridgei. The first have 37 and the second 35 amino acid residues, with molecular masses of 3,871.8 and 3,521.5, respectively. Both contain three disulfide bridges but share only 27% identity. They are relatively potent inhibitors of K(+)-currents in human T lymphocytes with K(d) values of 10 nM for Tc32 and 16 nM for Tc30, but they are less potent or quite poor blockers of Shaker B K(+)-channels, with respective K(d) values of 74 nM and 4.7 microM. Tc30 has a lysine in position 27 and a tyrosine at position 36 identical to those of charybdotoxin. These two positions conform the dyad considered essential for activity. On the contrary, Tc32 has a serine in the position equivalent to lysine 27 of charybdotoxin and does not contain any aromatic amino acid. Due to its unique primary sequence and to its distinctive preference for K(+)-channels of T lymphocytes, it was classified as the first example of a new subfamily of K(+)-channel-specific peptides (alpha-KT x 18.1). Tc30 is a member of the Tityus toxin II-9 subfamily and was given the number alpha-KT x 4.4.

Cím:K+ channel blockers : novel tools to inhibit T cell activation leading to specific immunosuppression / Panyi, G., Possani, L. D., Rodriguez de la Vega R. C., Gaspar, R., Varga, Z.
Dátum:2006
ISSN:381-6128 (Print)
Megjegyzések:During the last two decades since the identification and characterization of T cell potassium channels great advances have been made in the understanding of the role of these channels in T cell functions, especially in antigen-induced activation. Their limited tissue distribution and the recent discovery that different T cell subtypes carrying out distinct immune functions show specific expression levels of these channels have made T cell potassium channels attractive targets for immunomodulatory drugs. Many toxins of various animal species and a structurally diverse array of small molecules inhibiting these channels with varying affinity and selectivity were found and their successful use in immunosuppression in vivo was also demonstrated. Better understanding of the topological differences between potassium channel pores, detailed knowledge of toxin and small-molecule structures and the identification of the binding sites of blocking compounds make it possible to improve the selectivity and affinity of the lead compounds by introducing modifications based on structural information. In this review the basic properties and physiological roles of the voltage-gated Kv1.3 and the Ca2+-activated IKCa1 potassium channels are discussed along with an overview of compounds inhibiting these channels and approaches aiming at producing more efficient modulators of immune functions for the treatment of diseases like sclerosis multiplex and type I diabetes.
