Function

[KAX72_PANIM] Potent inhibitor of the A-type voltage-gated potassium channels. Most potent inhibitor of Kv1.2/KCNA2 channels. Reversibly block the Shaker B potassium-channels (Kv1.1 sub-family), but with a lower affinity than PiTX-K alpha.^[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The Pandinotoxins, PiTX-K alpha and PiTX-K beta, are members of the Charybdotoxin family of scorpion toxins that can be used to characterize K+ channels. PiTX-K alpha differs from PiTX-K beta, another peptide from Pandinus imperator, by one residue (P10E). When the two toxins are compared in a physiological assay, the affinity of PiTX-K beta for voltage-gated, rapidly inactivating K+ channels in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons is 800-fold lower than that of PiTX-K alpha (K alpha-IC50 = 8.0 nM versus K beta-IC50 = 6,500 nM). To understand this difference, the three-dimensional structure of PiTX-K beta was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and compared to that of PiTX-K alpha. This comparison shows that structural differences between the two toxins occur at a residue that is critical for blocking K+ channels (K27) as well as at the site of the natural mutation (P10E). In PiTX-K beta, the negatively charged carboxylate oxygen of E10 can approach the positive charge of K27 and presumably reduces the net positive charge in this region of the toxin. This is likely the reason why PiTX-K beta binds K+ channels from DRG neurons with a much lower affinity than does PiTX-K alpha.
