Three dimensional solution structure of huwentoxin-x by 2D 1H-NMR
Overview
Huwentoxin-X (HWTX-X) is a novel peptide toxin, purified from the venom of, the spider Ornithoctonus huwena. It comprises 28 amino acid residues, including six cysteine residues as disulfide bridges linked in the pattern, of I-IV, II-V, and III-VI. Its cDNA, determined by rapid amplification of, 3' and 5' cDNA ends, encodes a 65-residue prepropeptide. HWTX-X shares low, sequence homology with omega-conotoxins GVIA and MVIIA, two well known, blockers of N-type Ca2+ channels. Nevertheless, whole cell studies, indicate that it can block N-type Ca2+ channels in rat dorsal root, ganglion cells (IC50 40 nm) and the blockage by HWTX-X is completely, reversible. The rank order of specificity for N-type Ca2+ channels is GVIA, approximately HWTX-X > MVIIA. In contrast to GVIA and MVIIA, HWTX-X had no, detectable effect on the twitch response of rat vas deferens to low, frequency electrical stimulation, indicating that HWTX-X has different, selectivity for isoforms of N-type Ca2+ channels, compared with GVIA or, MVIIA. A comparison of the structures of HWTX-X and GVIA reveals that they, not only adopt a common structural motif (inhibitor cystine knot), but, also have a similar functional motif, a binding surface formed by the, critical residue Tyr, and several basic residues. However, the, dissimilarities of their binding surfaces provide some insights into their, different selectivities for isoforms of N-type Ca2+ channels.
