Function

[CA1A_CONVC] Alpha-conotoxins act on postsynaptic membranes, they bind to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) and thus inhibit them. This synthetic peptide (produced without hydroxyproline, nor 4-carboxyglutamate) is a neuronal nAChR antagonist that acts as a powerful analgesic. It blocks nAChRs composed of alpha-3 or -5/beta-2 (IC(50)=7.2 uM), alpha-3/beta-2 (IC(50)=7.3 uM), alpha-3/beta-4 (IC(50)=4.2 uM), alpha-3 or -5/beta-4 (IC(50)<30 uM), alpha-4/beta-2 (IC(50)<30 uM), alpha-4/beta-4 (IC(50)<30 uM) and alpha/beta/gamma/delta (IC(50)<30 uM) subunits.^[1] ^[2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The alpha-conotoxin Vc1.1 is a small disulfide-bonded peptide currently in development as a treatment for neuropathic pain. This study describes the synthesis, determination of the disulfide connectivity, and the determination of the three-dimensional structure of Vc1.1 using NMR spectroscopy. Vc1.1 was shown to inhibit nicotine-evoked membrane currents in isolated bovine chromaffin cells in a concentration-dependent manner and preferentially targets peripheral nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes over central subtypes. Specifically, Vc1.1 is selective for alpha3-containing nAChR subtypes. The three-dimensional structure of Vc1.1 comprises a small alpha-helix spanning residues Pro6 to Asp11 and is braced by the I-III, II-IV disulfide connectivity seen in other alpha-conotoxins. A comparison of the structure of Vc1.1 with other alpha-conotoxins, taken together with nAChR selectivity data, suggests that the conserved proline at position 6 is important for binding, whereas a number of residues in the C-terminal portion of the peptide contribute toward the selectivity. The structure reported here should open new opportunities for further development of Vc1.1 or analogues as analgesic agents.
