Molecular Docking Simulation of Short-Chain Four Disulphide Bridged Scorpion Toxins with Structural Model of Human Voltage-Gated Potassium Ion Channel Kv1.3
We report structural model of the human voltage-gated potassium ion channel Kv1.3 obtained based on the crystallographic structure of KcsA by homology modeling. Molecular docking simulations were performed between the model structure of Kv1.3 channel with three short-chain four disulphide bridged scorpion toxins HsTX1 from the venom of Heterometrus spinnifer (Scorpionidae), maurotoxin (MTX) fro...
متن کاملVoltage-Gated Sodium Channels Modulation by Bothutous Schach Scorpion Venom
Buthotus schach is one of the dangers scorpion in Iran that belong to the Buthidae family. Toxins are existing in venom scorpion, modulate the ion channels by blocking or opening the pore of the channel or by altering the voltage gating and useful as pharmacological tools. In the present study, we investigated the effect of venom and its obtained fractions by gel filtrations on electrophysiolog...
متن کاملComplex subunit assembly of neuronal voltage-gated K+ channels. Basis for high-affinity toxin interactions and pharmacology.
Neurons require specific patterns of K+ channel subunit expression as well as the precise coassembly of channel subunits into heterotetrameric structures for proper integration and transmission of electrical signals. In vivo subunit coassembly was investigated by studying the pharmacological profile, distribution, and subunit composition of voltage-gated Shaker family K+ (Kv1) channels in rat c...

متن کاملInactivation of voltage-gated cardiac K+ channels.
Inactivation is the process by which an open channel enters a stable nonconducting conformation after a depolarizing change in membrane potential. Inactivation is a widespread property of many different types of voltage-gated ion channels. Recent advances in the molecular biology of K+ channels have elucidated two mechanistically distinct types of inactivation, N-type and C-type. N-type inactiv...
