Function

[TOT1A_HADVE] Reversibly and voltage-independently blocks both mid-low- (M-LVA) and high-voltage-activated (HVA) calcium channels in cockroach DUM neurons. Lethal to many insect orders but not toxic to mice or rabbits. May target the insect high-voltage-activated calcium channel Dmca1D. Also inhibits acarines calcium channels. An extremely high toxin concentration partially inhibits Cav1.2/CACNA1C, Cav2.1/CACNA1A and Cav2.2/CACNA1B calcium channel of rats. As for omega-AcTx-Hv2a, the phenotypic effect of injection of this toxin into lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum) is curling of all eight legs into closed loops.^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

omega-Atracotoxin-Hv1a is an insect-specific neurotoxin whose phylogenetic specificity derives from its ability to antagonize insect, but not vertebrate, voltage-gated calcium channels. In order to help understand its mechanism of action and to enhance its utility as a lead compound for insecticide development, we used a combination of protein engineering and site-directed mutagenesis to probe the toxin for key functional regions. First, we constructed a Hairpinless mutant in which the C-terminal beta-hairpin, which is highly conserved in this family of neurotoxins, was excised without affecting the fold of the residual disulfide-rich core of the toxin. The Hairpinless mutant was devoid of insecticidal activity, indicating the functional importance of the hairpin. We subsequently developed a highly efficient system for production of recombinant toxin and then probed the hairpin for key functional residues using alanine-scanning mutagenesis followed by a second round of mutagenesis based on initial "hits" from the alanine scan. This revealed that two spatially proximal residues, Asn(27) and Arg(35), form a contiguous molecular surface that is essential for toxin activity. We propose that this surface of the beta-hairpin is a key site for interaction of the toxin with insect calcium channels.
