Novel active principles from spider venom.
Spiders are one of the most intriguing groups of venomous animals. Substances found in their venom vary from simple inorganic compounds to large multi-domain proteins. In this article, we review some of the latest work presenting active principles that add to the known spider toxin universe. Two aspects of novelty are addressed in particular, structural (novel types of molecules in terms of str...
متن کاملA Novel Neurotoxin from Venom of the Spider, Brachypelma albopilosum
Spiders have evolved highly selective toxins for insects. There are many insecticidal neurotoxins in spider venoms. Although a large amount of work has been done to focus on neurotoxicity of spider components, little information, which is related with effects of spider toxins on tumor cell proliferation and cytotoxicity, is available for Brachypelma albopilosum venom. In this work, a novel spid...
متن کاملω-Tbo-IT1–New Inhibitor of Insect Calcium Channels Isolated from Spider Venom
Novel disulfide-containing polypeptide toxin was discovered in the venom of the Tibellus oblongus spider. We report on isolation, spatial structure determination and electrophysiological characterization of this 41-residue toxin, called ω-Tbo-IT1. It has an insect-toxic effect with LD50 19 μg/g in experiments on house fly Musca domestica larvae and with LD50 20 μg/g on juvenile Gromphadorhina p...

متن کاملA Novel Hyaluronidase from Brown Spider (Loxosceles intermedia) Venom (Dietrich's Hyaluronidase): From Cloning to Functional Characterization
Loxoscelism is the designation given to clinical symptoms evoked by Loxosceles spider's bites. Clinical manifestations include skin necrosis with gravitational spreading and systemic disturbs. The venom contains several enzymatic toxins. Herein, we describe the cloning, expression, refolding and biological evaluation of a novel brown spider protein characterized as a hyaluronidase. Employing a ...
