Psalmotoxin 1 loses its capacity to block ASIC1a/ACCN2 as soon as this subunit is associated with another member of the family (ASIC2a/ACCN1 or ASIC3/ACCN3). The toxin can distinguish between the two ASIC1/ACCN2 splice variants ASIC1a/ACCN2 and ASIC1b/ACCN2.<ref>PMID:10829030</ref> | ||

| + | Acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) is a primary acid sensor in the peripheral and central nervous system. It has been implicated as a novel therapeutic target for a broad range of pathophysiological conditions including pain, ischemic stroke, depression, and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. The only known selective blocker of ASIC1a is pi-TRTX-Pc1a (PcTx1), a disulfide-rich 40-residue peptide isolated from spider venom. pi-TRTX-Pc1a is an effective analgesic in rodent models of acute pain and it provides neuroprotection in a mouse model of ischemic stroke. Thus, understanding the molecular basis of the pi-TRTX-Pc1a-ASIC1a interaction should facilitate development of therapeutically useful ASIC1a blockers. We therefore developed an efficient bacterial expression system to produce a panel of pi-TRTX-Pc1a mutants for probing structure-activity relationships as well as isotopically labeled toxin for determination of its solution structure and dynamics. We demonstrate that the toxin pharmacophore resides in a beta-hairpin loop that was revealed to be mobile over a wide range of time scales using molecular dynamics simulations in combination with NMR spin relaxation and relaxation dispersion measurements. The toxin-receptor interaction was modeled by in silico docking of the toxin structure onto a homology model of rat ASIC1a in a restraints-driven approach that was designed to take account of the dynamics of the toxin pharmacophore and the consequent remodeling of side-chain conformations upon receptor binding. The resulting model reveals new insights into the mechanism of action of pi-TRTX-Pc1a and provides an experimentally validated template for the rational design of therapeutically useful pi-TRTX-Pc1a mimetics. | ||
