Molecular determinants by which a long chain toxin from snake venom interacts with the neuronal alpha 7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
Long chain curarimimetic toxins from snake venom bind with high affinities to both muscular type nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) (K(d) in the pm range) and neuronal alpha 7-AChRs (K(d) in the nm range). To understand the molecular basis of this dual function, we submitted alpha-cobratoxin (alpha-Cbtx), a typical long chain curarimimetic toxin, to an extensive mutational analysis. By e...
متن کاملalpha-neurotoxin binding to the human nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) of striated muscle is an integral membrane protein consisting of five subunits of stoichiometry a:, p, E and 6, in which the E replaces the embryonic y form. T h e genes for Torpedo and human subunits have been cloned ([ 1-31; D. Beeson, unpublished work) and the a-subunit shows > 80% sequence similarity with its Torpedo counterpart. Nevertheless, som...

متن کاملEvidence of alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor expression in retinal pigment epithelial cells.
Some evidence suggests that retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) can express nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) as described for other epithelial cells, where nAChRs have been involved in processes such as cell development, cell death, cell migration, and angiogenesis. This study is designed to determine the expression and activity of α7 nAChRs in RPE cells. Reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR w...
متن کاملActivation of spinal alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor attenuates remifentanil-induced postoperative hyperalgesia.
The activation of alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7-nAchRs) are currently being considered as novel therapeutic approaches for managing hyperalgesia in inflammation and chronic neuropathic pain, but the role of a7-nAChRs on opioids induced hyperalgesia remain unknown. The present study investigated the effects of α7-nAChRs selective agonists PHA-543613 and type II positive allosteri...
