NMR Solution Structures of delta-Conotoxin EVIA from Conus ermineus that Selectively Acts on Vertebrate Neuronal Na+ Channels, LEU12-PRO13 Cis isomer
Overview
Delta-conotoxin EVIA, from Conus ermineus, is a 32-residue polypeptide, cross-linked by three disulfide bonds forming a four-loop framework., delta-Conotoxin EVIA is the first conotoxin known to inhibit sodium, channel inactivation in neuronal membranes from amphibians and mammals, (subtypes rNa(v)1.2a, rNa(v)1.3, and rNa(v)1.6), without affecting rat, skeletal muscle (subtype rNa(v)1.4) and human cardiac muscle (subtype, hNa(v)1.5) sodium channel (Barbier, J., Lamthanh, H., Le Gall, F., Favreau, P., Benoit, E., Chen, H., Gilles, N., Ilan, N., Heinemann, S. F., Gordon, D., Menez, A., and Molgo, J. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 4680-4685). Its structure was solved by NMR and is characterized by a 1:1, cis/trans isomerism of the Leu(12)-Pro(13) peptide bond in slow exchange, on the NMR time scale. The structure of both cis and trans isomers could, be calculated separately. The isomerism occurs within a specific long, disordered loop 2, including residues 11-19. These contribute to an, important hydrophobic patch on the surface of the toxin. The rest of the, structure matches the "inhibitor cystine-knot motif" of conotoxins from, the "O superfamily" with a high structural order. To probe a possible, functional role of the Leu(12)-Pro(13) cis/trans isomerism, a Pro(13) -->, Ala delta-conotoxin EVIA was synthesized and shown to exist only as a, trans isomer. P13A delta-conotoxin EVIA was estimated only two times less, active than the wild-type EVIA in binding competition to rat brain, synaptosomes and when injected intracerebroventricularly into mice.
