Expression, renaturation and functional analysis of an excitatory insect-specific toxin from scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch.
The cDNA of BmK IT-AP, an excitatory insect toxin from the scorpion Buthus martensi Karsch that has an analgesic effect on mammalian cells, was expressed in E. coli in the form of an inclusion body. Following denaturation and reduction, the recombinant protein was renatured and purified by liquid chromatography. The authenticity of the recombinant product was confirmed by bioassay and its elect...
متن کاملExpression and purification of the BmK Mm2 neurotoxin from the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch and its biological activity test.
The gene encoding neurotoxin (BmK Mm2) from the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) at a level of 1.6 mg/L using expression plasmid pExSecI system. SDS-PAGE analysis of the cell lysate confirmed that gene BmK Mm2 was expressed in soluble form and the expressed production was secreted into Luria-Bertani (LB) culture medium from Escherichia coli. Accordin...
متن کاملStructure of an excitatory insect-specific toxin with an analgesic effect on mammals from the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch.
BmK IT-AP is an excitatory insect-specific beta-toxin with analgesic effect from the Chinese scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch (BmK) and consists of 72 residues cross-linked by four disulfide bridges. The crystal structure of BmK IT-AP has been determined at a resolution of 2.6 A by molecular replacement. Compared with the mammal-selective alpha-toxins consisting of 64 residues from the scorpion...
متن کاملPurification and N-terminal partial sequence of anti-epilepsy peptide from venom of the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch.
An anti-epilepsy peptide (AEP) was isolated and purified from venom of the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch. The purification procedure included CM-Sephadex C-50 chromatography, gel filtration on Sephadex G-50 and DEAE-Sephadex A-50 chromatography. Its homogeneity was demonstrated by pH 4.3 polyacrylamide-disc-gel electrophoresis, focusing electrophoresis and SDS/polyacrylamide-disc-gel electro...
متن کاملGenomic organization of three novel toxins from the scorpion Buthus martensi Karsch that are active on potassium channels.
The cDNA and genomic DNA of three novel toxins from the scorpion Buthus martensi Karsch that are active on K(+) channels, designated BmKTX (where KTX is kaliotoxin), BmTX1 and BmTX2, were cloned and sequenced. On the basis of their known amino acid sequences, gene-specific primers for 3' and 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) were designed and synthesized. By overlapping the two partial...
