摘要: A novel peptide from Centruroides noxius Hoffmann scorpion venom was isolated and sequenced. The 37 amino acid belongs to the charybdotoxin sub-family (alphaKTx1) numbered member 11. alphaKTx1.11 has 75% sequence identity with iberiotoxin 54% charybdotoxin. revealed specificity for mammalian MaxiK channels (hSlo), thus, named slotoxin. Slotoxin blocks pore-forming alpha subunit reversibly (K(d)=1.5 nM). association alpha+beta (beta1 or beta4) approximately 10 times slower than charybdotoxin, leading a lack of effect on alpha+beta4 when tested at 100 nM 5 min. Thus, slotoxin is better tool distinguish complexes.
