Novel biopesticide based on a spider venom peptide shows no adverse effects on honeybees
Evidence is accumulating that commonly used pesticides are linked to decline of pollinator populations; adverse effects of three neonicotinoids on bees have led to bans on their use across the European Union. Developing insecticides that pose negligible risks to beneficial organisms such as honeybees is desirable and timely. One strategy is to use recombinant fusion proteins containing neuroact...
متن کاملNovel 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...

PnTx4(6-1), henceforth renamed δ-Ctenitoxin-Pn1a (δ-CNTX-Pn1a), a peptide from Phoneutria nigriventer spider venom, initially described as an insect toxin, binds to site 3 of sodium channels in nerve cord synaptosomes and slows down sodium current inactivation in isolated axons in cockroaches (Periplaneta americana). δ-CNTX-Pn1a does not cause any apparent toxicity to mice, when intracerebroven...
